However, considerable difficulties
still exist. In order to achieve a better
protection of the stored bagasse a com-
prehensive study was undertaken for ana-
lysing the causes of the microbiological
deterioration, the influence of various
parameters and for applying chemical
measures. The work was done partly at
a particleboard plant on Trinidad, partly
in the laboratory (WALTER 1978). In the
following some of the results are pre-
sented.
