Response of Breeding Birds to Aerial Sprays of Trichlorfon (Dylox) and Carbaryl (Sevin-4-Oil) in Montana Forests

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Report the results of a pilot control project with trichlorfon (Dylox) and carbaryl (Sevin-4-Oil), with particular reference to the effects of the chemicals on 20 bird species.

Key Findings: No significant effects of trichlorfon or carbaryl sprays on the numbers of breeding pairs, bird abundance, nest success, mortality rates, or the activities of brain cholinesterase in the breeding population were detected.

Spruce Budworm Defoliation in Relation to Introgression in Red and Black Spruce

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Rating branch samples for severity of budworm damage to 1968 foliage, using 10 defoliation categories ranging from rating one for no defoliation to rating ten for complete defoliation.

Key Findings: Post-cutting regeneration techniques would favor the less shade-tolerant black spruce.

“Do I Have a Budworm-Susceptible Forest?”

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Present criteria to help forest managers determine if their forest is budworm-susceptible

Key Findings: In the intervening 25 years, management of the forest in northern New Brunswick has not resulted in any reduction in their susceptibility to spruce budworm attack

Status of Products Under Development & Research Trials Proposed for the 1981 Field Season

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Review the status of a number of the pest control products at various stages in the Institute's mill at Sault Ste. Marie and propose for further testing and development during the 1981 field season.

Key Findings: New methodologies for carbamate insecticides have been developed and studies on the accumulation of fenitrothion in forestry substrates for up to 5 consecutive years of application. The studies suggest that it takes several years of treatment before significant amounts accumulate.

Maine Spruce Budworm Cooperative Growth Study Draft

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Designed to establish the basis for monitoring the effects of the spruce budworm infestation in our Spruce-Fir region.

Key Findings: The initial measurement year has provided basic stand information and an estimate of the extent of the budworm activity.

Long-term Effects of Fenitrothion Spray Programs on Non-Target Terrestrial Arthropods

Problem Addressed: Use of insecticides as spruce budworm control

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Describe the methods of approach and the interim results to questions regarding spray programs against spruce budworm

Key Findings: The perennial trends of densities in this array of predatory, phytophagous, and fungivorous arthropods do not support the hypothesis that fenitrothion has a profound influence on the community resident in balsam fir crowns.

Experimental Aerial Applications of Methomyl, Phoxim and Trichlorfon for Control of Choristoneura fumiferana on White Spruce in Quebec, 1975

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presented for consideration by regulatory authorities and resource managers as background information for the development of recommendations in forest pest management

Key Findings: Each of the three conventional spray treatments provided significant mortality of larvae populations in the selected plantation compartments, but none provided the required level of foliage protection.

The Study of Resistance to Aphids in Crop Plants

Problem Addressed: Insect resistance in crop plants

Key Findings: Progress has been made on the practical use of resistance to aphids in the release to Kansas farmers of corn hybrid Kansas 1859, Ladak alfalfa, and Dicktoo barley, each resistant to a different aphid species. These are being used in plant breeding and give promise of eventual production of insect resistant varieties.
