This report is a presentation of data gathered by the Budworm Survey and AssessÍoent Unit (BSAU) of the Maine Fonest Service (MFS). The BSAU annually conducts surveys of general budworm population level, host tree condition, and overwintering larval population (L-II). The budworm unit cooperates with other MFS Entomology Division staff on surveys of budworm parasitism and budworm damaged trees. Complete 1985 results of these annual surveys are contained in this report. In addition to annual surveys, this unit determines proper timing of spray projects and evaluates the results of operational treatments and various operational tests of insecticides. Results of the 1985 operational evaluations are presented in this report and a summary of 1985 testing is provided.
