<title>SEASONAL WOOD DECOMPOSITION ACTIVITY OF TERMITES IN BHADRACHALAM NORTH FOREST REGION. KHAMMAM DISTRICT, ANDHRAPRADESH, INDIA </title>
<abstract>Seasonal wood degradation activity of termites five species of  lessThan i greaterThan Odontotermes feae  lessThan /i greaterThan (Wasmann),  lessThan i greaterThan O. obesus  lessThan /i greaterThan (Rambur), lessThan i greaterThan  O. wallonensis  lessThan /i greaterThan (Wasmann)  lessThan i greaterThan Microtermes obesi  lessThan /i greaterThan (Wasmann) lessThan i greaterThan ,  lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan  Coptotermes hemi lessThan /i greaterThan  (Wasmann) were studied at Bhadrachalam north forest region, in Khammam district of Andhrapradesh, India for two years from June, 2008 to May 2010.Termite wood degradation was increased in during April to June, gradually it decreased in July to October then again increased from November to March. The relationship of a biotic factors indicate that wood decomposition activity of  lessThan i greaterThan O.obesus O. feae and O. wallonensis Microtermes obesi,  lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan  Coptotermes hemi lessThan /i greaterThan  was significantly correlated with minimum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall</abstract>
