In 1976 the Maine Forest Service conducted a 3.5 million acre aerial spray project against the spruce budworm in northern an central Maine. The goal of the operation was to reduce budworm populations and associated defoliation to prevent substantial three mortality in high hazard areas. The chemicals used were carbaryl apllied at rates of 3/4 ln and 1 lb. A.I per acre, and trichlorfon apllied at the rate of l lb A.I. per acere. Total cost of the project was 8,526,580.
