Spray Deposit Assessment for the 1979 Spruce Budworm Suppression Project

Goal(s)/Objective(s): To determine the presence of insecticide in as many target and non-target areas as possible during the course of the spray project
Recommendation: Replace spray cards with foliage sampling and glass plates where Sevin is used

Population Dynamics of the Major North American Needle-Eating Budworms (1993)

Problem Addressed: Western Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Analyze data from nine projects in six western States to provided 1,251 life tables and to produce projection capabilities for defoliation and successive budworm densities as functions of preceding density, site and stand attributes, interested influences, systematic year-to-year changes in survival, recent insecticide treatment, and weather.
Key Findings: The predator-limitation theory of Hairston and others (1960) is not adequate to explain population limitations in this group of herbivores

Pulping of Budworm-Killed Balsam Fir (1982)

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm-killed balsam fir
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Compare properties of the dead balsam fir to those of live, healthy fir.
Key Findings: Spruce budworm-killed trees had significantly decreased moisture contents; lower specific gravity and bark content, and smaller sized chips as a function of time-since-death.

Degrade and Decay of Spruce-Fir Timber Following Spruce Budworm Attack (1978)

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm destruction of over 300 million cords of balsam fir pulpwood and saw timber, with demand for balsam fir increasing continually.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Information presented as a summary of what is known about spruce budworm-caused degrade and decay of balsam fir and, to a lesser extent, spruce.

Economic Impact of the Spruce Budworm Outbreak in Newfoundland

Problem Addressed: Economic cost of spruce budworm issues
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assess cost of spruce budworm
Key Findings: It is difficult to quantify the long-term impact of the outbreak on wood supplies and the forest environment and thus more research is required
