1. A method of delivering an aqueous composition to a kiln dried lignocellulosic substrate, the method comprising at least the steps of: a. heating a target zone of the substrate using radio frequency energy or microwave energy, andb. applying the composition to a surface of the substrate comprising or immediately adjacent to the heated target zone; wherein the composition is at a temperature below that of the heated target zone at the time the composition is applied, the difference between the temperatures of the composition and the heated target zone being sufficient to reduce pressure in the substrate after the composition is applied, allowing for an uptake of about 10 l/m3 to 100 l/m3 of the composition into the substrate. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the kiln dried substrate has an initial moisture content of less than 15%. 3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the substrate is lumber. 4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frequency of the radio frequency energy is substantially 100 MHz or below. 5. A method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the frequency of the radio frequency energy is from substantially 27 MHz to substantially 40 MHz. 6. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the target zone of the substrate is heated to a temperature such that there is a temperature differential of at least approximately 80 degrees Celsius between the target zone and the composition at the time of application. 7. A method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the temperature differential is at least approximately 100 degrees Celsius. 8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition is applied at ambient temperature. 9. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the target zone comprises a volume of the substrate including an area of the surface of the substrate to a depth of between substantially 0.1 cm and substantially 4 cm. 10. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the target zone of the substrate is heated and held at an elevated temperature for a period of time prior to application of the composition. 11. A method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the substrate is held at an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to heat substantially the whole target zone to a substantially uniform temperature. 12. A method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the period is a time sufficient to sterilise at least the target zone of the substrate. 13. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of controlling loss of moisture from the target zone of the substrate during step a, or during any period prior to step b, within which the target zone of the substrate is held at an elevated temperature. 14. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition is a biocidal composition, is a composition that imparts properties of higher density or strength to at least a target zone of the substrate, or a waterproofing composition. 15. A method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the composition is of a polymeric or pre-polymeric nature. 16. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition is applied to the substrate by one or more of dipping, deluging, spraying, or brushing. 17. A method of delivering an aqueous composition to a lignocellulosic substrate the method comprising at least the steps of: a. heating a target zone of the substrate using radio frequency energy or microwave energy, andb. applying the composition to a surface of the substrate comprising or immediately adjacent to the heated target zone; wherein the lignocellulosic substrate has a moisture content of less than 15% as a weight proportion of dry weight prior to the heating step and the composition is at a temperature below that of the heated target zone at the time the composition is applied, the difference between the temperatures of the composition and the heated target zone being sufficient to reduce pressure in the substrate after the composition is applied, allowing for an uptake about 10 l/m3 to 100 l/m3 of the composition into the substrate. 18. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the substrate is lumber. 19. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the frequency of the radio frequency energy is substantially 100 MHz or below. 20. A method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the frequency of the radio frequency energy is from substantially 27 MHz to substantially 40 MHz. 21. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the target zone of the substrate is heated to a temperature such that there is a temperature differential of at least approximately 80 degrees Celsius between the target zone and the composition at the time of application. 22. A method as claimed in claim 21, wherein the temperature differential is at least approximately 100 degrees Celsius. 23. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the composition is applied at ambient temperature. 24. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the target zone comprises a volume of the substrate including an area of the surface of the substrate to a depth of between substantially 0.1 cm and substantially 4 cm. 25. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the target zone of the substrate is heated and held at an elevated temperature for a period of time prior to application of the composition. 26.

A method as claimed in claim 25, wherein the period is a time sufficient to sterilize at least the target zone of the substrate. 28. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the method further comprises the step of controlling loss of moisture from the target zone of the substrate during step a, or during any period prior to step b, within which the target zone of the substrate is held at an elevated temperature. 29. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the composition is a biocidal composition, a composition that imparts properties of higher density or strength to at least a target zone of the substrate, or a waterproofing composition. 30. A method as claimed in claim 29, wherein the composition is of a polymeric or pre-polymeric nature. 31. A method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the composition is applied to the substrate by one or more of dipping, deluging, spraying, or brushing.
