In a method for treating wood, a wood treatment device for a long-term treatment of wood is provided. An active agent for wood treatment is applied to a carrier material and the carrier material provided with the active agent for wood treatment is introduced into the receiving space of a hollow cylindrical body of the wood treatment device. The wood treatment device is driven into the wood. A thrust pin of the wood treatment device is displaced to release a first outlet opening at an open end face of the hollow cylindrical body and a second outlet opening in a wall surface of the hollow cylindrical body of the wood treatment device to bring into contact the receiving space with the wood and to release the active agent for wood treatment into the wood. The wood treatment device is left behind in the wood.

The present invention provides for a process for repairing damage to wood and related cellulosic products caused by termites and other wood damaging insects comprising the steps of providing a modification of the bacteria of the genus gluconacetobacter toxic to termites and other wood damaging insects; converting said bacterial modification into a bait attractive to termites and other wood damaging insects as a source of food; and allowing said bacterial modification to produce a by-product ooze capable of repairing would damaged by termites and other wood damaging insects. The process causes the build-up of wood like material, thus effectively repairing the termite damaged areas

The present invention provides for a bio-nematocide for repairing damage to wood and related cellulosic products caused by nematodes.

An insecticidal composition wherein the composition has an insecticidal effect based a modification of the bacteria of the genus gluconacetobacter. The Insecticidal effect show activity against Green peach aphid (Myzus persicae (Sulzer)); Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) on peaches and Citrus woolly whitefly (Aleurothrixus floccosus) on citrus.

Process for the treatment of plant tissue having a capillary system with active substances and/or dyestuffs, characterised in that a shaped piece containing openings and/or having grooves or knobs on its surface, the openings or surface structure of which are loaded with active substance and/or dyestuff, is applied to the plant tissue with the aid of a setting tool or setting device in such a way that no air penetrates into the capillary system.

The present invention relates to a wood treatment device (1) for treating wood, and to a method for treating wood. Said wood treatment device (1) comprises a cylindrical hollow body (2) having inner end which is inside the wood when in use, and an outer end facing away from the inner end and at least one outlet opening (4). The cylindrical hollow body (2) comprises a receiving space (20′) which is designed to receive a carrier material (20) containing a wood treatment agent. Said wood treatment device (1) also comprises a thrust pin (10) which extends along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical hollow body (2), and which can be moved outside of the cylindrical hollow body (2) on the outer end. Said thrust pin (10) comprises at least one closure section (11, 12) which closes at least one outlet opening when the wood treatment device (1) is not in use, and when the wood treatment device (1) is in use, the at least one outlet opening is released after moving and the receiving chamber is brought into contact with the wood.
