Default Gate posts, fence posts & rotting

As these things seem to rot at ground level and just below but not above,
then
perhaps the remedy is to seal with bath sealant where the post enters the
concrete, and then smear further sealant up the post for a further couple
of inches above ground level to prevent extended contact with water?
