The Impact of Forest Spraying on Populations of Small Forest Songbirds, Small Mammals and Honey Bees in the Menjou Depot Area of Quebec, 1973

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm in Quebec
Key Findings: The application of fenitrothion followed about 10 days later with an application of Matacil caused some mortality amongst those species inhabiting and foraging in exposed habitat.

Alkali Solubility as an Indication of Decay in Diseased Wood

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm infestation
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine if, in fact, the 1% alkaline solubility test could serve as a valuable empirical measurement of decay in wood to be used in pulping and to obtain experimental data to be used in a future study of the effect of decay on pulp yield and strength properties (using 5/8" and 7/8" chips in pulping)
Key Findings: The 5/8" and 7/8" chip samples led to accurate and reproducible results. Since 5/8" and 7/8" chips are typically considered to be part of the accepted chips used in industrial pulping, the 1% NaOH solubility test could serve as a useful and reliable measurement of decay of wood to be used in industry.

Results of Spray Operations Against Spruce Budworm in New Brunswick 1977 and a Forecast of Conditions in the Maritimes for 1978

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Give the results of aerial spraying operations in New Brunswick in 1977 which were carried out to limit damage caused by the spruce budworm
Key Findings: Best results, in terms of foliage saved and percent budworm killed, occurred in areas treated twice with aminocarb, three times with one application of fenitrothion and two applications of aminocarb, and once with fenitrothion at 4 oz per acre, when the budworm was in the fourth instar.

Biological Impact Studies of Experimental and Operational Spruce Budworm (Chloristoneura fumiferana Clemens) Control Programs on Selected Non-Target Organisms in Quebec, 1976

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presents the findings of impact studies carried out in areas treated with the organophosphorus insecticides fenitrothion, phospohorothioate and phosphamidon in the Mont Tremblant, La Tuque and Chandler areas of Quebec, and the results of investigations into reports of accidental damage to the environment resulting from budworm control programs.
