The impact of budworm killed softwoods on a bleached sulfite pulping operation is reviewed. Wood consumption increased 11% but pulp strength quality has not deteriorated. The primary mill difficulty in utilizing budworm wood is keeping it separate from fresh wood used in the newsprint groundwood mill.
