A Review of Entomological Survey and Assessment Techniques used in Regional Spruce Budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) Surveys and in the Assessment of Operational Spray Programs

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Ensure on a technical level the general principles of survey and assessment techniques were understood and evaluated in a manner unlikely to cause problems between jurisdictions, and create a sufficient standardization of techniques to allow a realistic comparison of results across jurisdictions.

Key Findings: Differences which existed were only minor and usually reflected modifications to suit local conditions or needs and standardization seemed unnecessary.

A Demonstration of Bacillus Thuringiensis, Plus the Enzyme Chitinase, Against the Spruce Budworm in Maine. Part I. Efficacy

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm in northern Maine

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Evaluate Bacillus thuringiensis and B.t. plus chitinase on controlling damage of the spruce budworm in northern Maine.

Key Findings: The B.t. alone treatments showed levels of crown damage that were indistinguishable from that of control plots.

Distribution and presistence of fenitrothion residues in foliage, soil and water in larose forest.

Problem Addressed: Insecticide residues in Larose forest.

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize an operational experiment carried out in Larose Forest to study the persistence of aerially applied fenitrothion and its metabolites (the oxon analgue and 4-nitro-cresol) in white spruce foliage, soil and water samples collected from sprayed areas.

Key Findings: Degradation and persistence of fenitrothion findings are in reasonable agreement with those for the same chemical used in N.B. forests.

Baxter State Park 2015 Research Summary Report

Problem Addressed: Visitor characteristics, travel behavior, and perceptions of tourism

Goal(s)/Objective(s): To understand how changing weather and climate could impact visitors in the Katahdin region by conducting visitor surveys.

Key Findings: Approximately 50% of respondents for both surveys ranked the expected weather as either very important or important in selecting BSP or the Katahdin region as their destination

Recommendation: Visitors to Baxter State Park and the Katahdin region may be receptive to climate change information, studies conducted in the park, or management actions taken to address the impacts that climate change may have in the area
