This study assessed the perception of successes and constraints in the rattan and cane furniture industry in Ghana. From 250 questionnaires distributed, 200 (80%) were retrieved for analysis at a 95% confidence level. Internal consistencies of questionnaire items for the 12 measures of successes and 22 measures of constraints were Cronbach Alpha 0.789 and 0.862, respectively. The results indicated greater success in the business with all items recording significant (P = 0.001) averages of 3.22–3.95 indicating moderate to very high success with increased income ranking highest. On average, many of the 22 constraint items were rated either moderately high or very high with a lack of financial and technical support being prominent and obtaining 83% to 100% affirmations. Frantic engagement efforts with government and non-governmental agencies are needed towards overcoming or reducing the constraints to enhance success levels towards individual and national growth and development.KEYWORDS: Furniture businessbusiness success factorsGhanaian furniturerattancane AcknowledgementsThe authors express their sincerest gratitude to Mr. Frank Oheneba Kwarteng, Mr. Benjamin Atenka, Mr. Bright Osei Bonsu and all the respondents for their support throughout this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":14414,"journal":{"name":"International Wood Products Journal","volume":"47 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136022575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The losses have been estimated to be more than 30% due to these fungi. This latter brings about two primary diseases known as M'jej and Saboune. The study tries to show the molecular identification of the lignivorous fungi of the Atlas cedar in the cedar groves of Tazekka and Azrou and their biological control by the essential oils extracted from both the healthy and infected cedarwood. Therefore, this molecular research has identified three phytopathogenic fungi:(Paecilomyces maximus, Pleurostoma richardsiae, and Alternaria tenuissima). The data analysed in this study has also confirmed that the oil extracted from Saboune-infected wood showed a noticeable fungistatic effect against these fungi, with a MIC reaching 1/500, followed by the EO extracted from M'jej-infected wood. However, the healthy cedarwood gave an EO without antifungal activity. A mixture of these three oils gave significant antifungal results.KEYWORDS: BiocontrolCedrus atlantica Mcubic brown rot (Saboune)essential oilred ring rot (M’jej)Pleurostoma richardsiaePaecilomyces maximusAlternaria tenuissima‌ AcknowledgementsThanks to the research team of biology (CNRST), Atika BENAYAD, Siham CHAUIYAKH, and Samir BENAICHA.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.","PeriodicalId":14414,"journal":{"name":"International Wood Products Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136012593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two methods of extraction of fibres were used, namely biological retting and chemical extraction by a sodium hydroxide solution at a 5% concentration. Chemical, Physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics were determined using ATF FTIR, mechanical test and thermogravimetric analysis. The theoretical density of the characterized fibres was 1.30 g/cm3. The porosity decreases by 5% from the root to the leaves. The SEM analysis indicated the presence of fibrils coated with a rough sheath similar to a honeycomb cell structure. The use of NaOH in the extraction method removes the hemicellulose, pectin, wax, and lignin from the fibres. The average elasticity modulus of untreated and treated fibres are, respectively, E = 35.18 ± 2.25 MPa and E = 33.47 ± 2.35 MPa and internal bond of fibreboards are 0.98 ± 0.05 MPa and 1.06 ± 0.02 MPa.","PeriodicalId":14414,"journal":{"name":"International Wood Products Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"74 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44075804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
