Abstract
A wood preservative comprising a styryl triazole derivative of the formula [I] ##STR1## wherein X represents chlorine or hydrogen as an active ingredient. The present wood preservative has a wood-preservating efficacy equivalent to and remarkably improved light resistance as compared with a conventional organic iodine compound slightly inferior in light resistance, and therefore, exhibits a stabilized wood-preservating efficacy without causing discoloration even under irradiation with light.

A method of preserving wood comprising applying to a wooden surface, a fungicidally effective amount of a wood preservative comprising a styryl triazole derivative of the formula (I) ##STR3## wherein X represents chlorine or hydrogen as an active ingredient and an inert carrier;
- wherein the wood preservative is in the form of an oil formulation;
- wherein the wood preservative is applied to the wooden surface in an amount of 50-200 g of the oil formulation per m.sup.2 of the surface area of wood and in an amount of 0.1-10 g of the active ingredient per m.sup.2 of surface area of wood.
A method for controlling wood rotting fungi which comprises applying a fungicidally effective amount of a styryl triazole derivative of the formula (I) ##STR4## wherein X represents chlorine or hydrogen, to wood, wherein the applying of the styryl triazole derivative is in an antifungally effective amount which is effective against at least one fungus selected from the group consisting of Coriolus versicolor, Tyrtomyces palustris, Serpula lacrymans, Paxillus panuoides, Coniophora puteana, Gloeophyllum sepiarium, Gloeophyllum trabeum, Antrodia xantha, Lentinus lepideus, Antrodia sinuosa, Schiozophyllum commune and Pycnoporus coccineus.
