Insecticide Field Efficacy: Summary Report for 1986

Problem Addressed: Insecticides
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize 1986 insecticide field efficacy.
Key Findings: In the field, budworm populations develop slightly slower on black spruce than on white spruce or balsam fir.

Spruce Budworm Management Planning — Limiting Environmental Impacts

Problem Addressed: Environmental impacts from forest management and processes.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Give an appreciation of the types of environmental impacts that are associated with spruce budworm management and to demonstrate that pests can be managed in several ways, each with different impacts.
Key Findings: Environmental impacts depend on not only management strategy and insecticide but also on application rate, formulation, spray timing and block layout.

Sticky-Board Trap for Measuring Dispersal of Spruce Budworm Larvae

Problem Addressed: Spread of spruce budworm larvae.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Describe a new sticky-board traps for measuring early-larval dispersal of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.), and evaluates trap-board color and screen versus unscreened traps.
Key Findings: Dispersing spruce budworm larvae showed no preference for trap color; fewer nontarget arthropods were caught ondark-colored than on light-colored traps. Screened traps caught significantly more spruce budworm larvae than unscreened traps, and they were easier to examine.

Final Report 1973, Parasitoid Studies

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): See if areas of spruce-fir containing mixtures of various species of hardwoods would also harbor (1) lower populations of budworm, and (2) greater percentages of parasites.
Key Findings: Spruce budworm populations were much lower in areas containing predominantly hardwoods mixed with some spruce and fir.

The Presettlement Forest and Natural Disturbance Cycle of Northeastern Maine

Problem Addressed: The unknown character of the presettlement forests in New England.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Estimate the species composition of the presettlement forests, to interpret their successional status, and to provide evidence on the frequency of large-scale natural disturbances.
Key Findings: Severe disturbance was fairly common in the presettlement forest of northern Maine, and data from the land surveys and individual virgin stands likewise indicate that most of the land surface supported climax stands that were frequently all-aged.

Wood Supply Analysis by Simulation

Problem Addressed: Wood supply
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Present a method of harvesting and silviculture in forest development.
Key Findings: By forecasting the long-term effects of silviculture and harvesting, it is possible to choose a management strategy to achieve desired benefits from the forest.

Spruce Budworm Damage Assessment with 35mm Air Photos

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assist forest managers at all levels in assessing damage and estimating possible future damage due to spruce budworm activity and provide an index which can be used to rank stands in terms of relative probability of future damage.

Mobility of Forest Insects

Problem Addressed: Forest insects
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Discuss the mobility of forest insects.
Key Findings: Replace where possible current protection strategies with more aggressive strategies that aim at the prevention of pest damage, for the future of forestry in Canada.
