Problem Addressed: Overview of Spruce Budworm problem in Maine in 1970
Key Findings: 210,000 acres in the Oxbow area of northern Aroostook County were sprayed with fenitrothion in 1970 to control the spruce budworm and protect trees
Goal(s)/Objective(s): A way to rapidly communicate useful information and techniques to our cooperators, to forest managers, and to forest pest management people.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Provide a means of evaluating the amount of damage and mortality in Maine's spruce-fir forests caused by the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana, Clem.).
Problem Addressed: The evaluation of spray success using color and color infrared aerial photography
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine the location and amount of mortality caused by the spruce budworm, detect areas of new budworm attack earlier than with present models, identify forests requiring spraying or other control measures to prevent excessive tree mortality and timber loss from budworm attack more efficiently than with present methodology.
