The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1962

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Report on the spruce budworm condition in Maine in 1962

Key Findings: Based on egg mass surveys, a decided increase in both population and defoliation may be expected in 1963 over most of the area having medium to heavy defoliation in 1962.

Recommendation: Aerial spraying be carried out in 1963

The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1963

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Report on the spruce budworm condition in Maine in 1963

Key Findings: Within the area sprayed twice, control was as good and probably better than previous operations.

The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1964

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Report on the spruce budworm condition in Maine in 1964

Key Findings: Outside the main infestation area, budworm populations have declined. While 1963 was a good year for the spruce budworm and populations increased in all areas not subject to the spray program, 1964 was less favourable and remaining populations were reduced.

The Spruce Budworm in Eastern North America

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Discussion of the spruce budworm in eastern North America

Key Findings: Many facts about spruce budworm biology and behavior suggest that its long-term success is not closely tied, to individual trees or even stands--as are some less mobile insects, such as scales and even sawflies

Notes on the Biology of Synetaeris tenuifemur Walley (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Data suggests S. tennifemur is associated with endemic budworm populations

Key Findings: Sufficient data have not been obtained to develop a precise relationship between the number of budworm attacked and budworm density at any one parasite density.

Patterns of Balsam Fir Mortality Caused by an Uncontrolled Spruce Budworm Outbreak

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine the relationship of tree and stand mortality to cumulative defoliation, the variability in tree mortality within and between stands and its relation to tree, stand, and site characteristics, and to evaluate the accuracy of regression equations presented by MacLean (1980) for predicting stand mortality during an outbreak.

Key Findings: There is a need for quantitative predictions of the impact of uncontrolled budworm outbreaks on stand yield for use in timber supply projections and the best model of tree mortality caused by budworm is that of a constant proportion of the host volume or density (i.e. a linear relationship)

Prescribed Burning for Stand Conversion in Budworm-killed Balsam Fir: An Ontario Case History

Problem Addressed: Balsam fir mortality from spruce budworm infestations

Key Findings: The Northern Region of OMNR, which has extensive balsam fir morality, burned 1,525 ha in this fuel type in 1983 and plans are in place for an expanded program in future years.
