Environmental Studies in the Use of Accothion for Spruce Budworm Control (1971)

Problem Addressed: Effect on wildlife from spraying against Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Effects of the insecticide Accothion birds, mammals, fish, and amphibians
Key Findings: Observations in the spray area were made on reactions to Accothion of a great variety of species of flora and fauna present. Accothion showed observable effects on some insects but not on other insects; nor on plants, birds, minnows in a confined pool, tadpoles, frogs, toads, and salamanders.
