“Do I Have a Budworm-Susceptible Forest?”

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Present criteria to help forest managers determine if their forest is budworm-susceptible

Key Findings: In the intervening 25 years, management of the forest in northern New Brunswick has not resulted in any reduction in their susceptibility to spruce budworm attack

Status of Products Under Development & Research Trials Proposed for the 1981 Field Season

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Review the status of a number of the pest control products at various stages in the Institute's mill at Sault Ste. Marie and propose for further testing and development during the 1981 field season.

Key Findings: New methodologies for carbamate insecticides have been developed and studies on the accumulation of fenitrothion in forestry substrates for up to 5 consecutive years of application. The studies suggest that it takes several years of treatment before significant amounts accumulate.

Long-term Effects of Fenitrothion Spray Programs on Non-Target Terrestrial Arthropods

Problem Addressed: Use of insecticides as spruce budworm control

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Describe the methods of approach and the interim results to questions regarding spray programs against spruce budworm

Key Findings: The perennial trends of densities in this array of predatory, phytophagous, and fungivorous arthropods do not support the hypothesis that fenitrothion has a profound influence on the community resident in balsam fir crowns.

Experimental Aerial Applications of Methomyl, Phoxim and Trichlorfon for Control of Choristoneura fumiferana on White Spruce in Quebec, 1975

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presented for consideration by regulatory authorities and resource managers as background information for the development of recommendations in forest pest management

Key Findings: Each of the three conventional spray treatments provided significant mortality of larvae populations in the selected plantation compartments, but none provided the required level of foliage protection.

The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1968

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm in Maine in 1968

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Check on budworm development, larval and egg mass surveys, and aerial surveys for defoliation

Key Findings: The spruce budworm infestation can be expected to continue and probably intensify in the Oxbow area during 1969, given favorable weather conditions for the insect.
