The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1965

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm in Maine. There was no spruce budworm control in Maine during 1965.
Key Findings: After considering the 1964 data, entomologists of the Maine and U.S. Forest Services had recommended a "wait and watch" policy with regard to the budworm infestation with no treatment recommended for 1965.

Effects of Spruce Budworm Outbreaks on the Productivity and Stability of Balsam Fir Forests

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Reviews the effects of spruce budworm caused defoliation on forest productivity, including radial and volume growth of both individual trees and stands, top-kill of trees, and rate of mortality in stands.
Key Findings: Spruce budworm outbreaks definitely disrupt the short-term stability of forest ecosystems by causing widespread tree mortality and loss of wood production, which in turn cause major forest management problems.

Aerial Survey Techniques for the Spruce Budworm in the Lake States

Goal(s)/Objective(s): To set up defoliation standards for air observers which could be related to larval population and actual defoliation. Also to determine best flying height, the effect of contrasting filters, and observer accuracy.
Key Findings: Samples collected from the midcrown of codominant or dominant balsam fir trees represent the best estimate of defoliation for the entire tree.

Sample Size — Precision Relationships for Use in Estimating Stand Characteristics and Spruce Budworm Caused Tree Mortality

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presents sample size -- precision relationships for use in estimating budworm-caused tree mortality, which were derived from data collected over a 5-year period from 25 plots on the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia.
Key Findings: Results will assist in choosing the type and number of plots required for a specific precision level in future studies determining stand characteristics or budworm-caused tree mortality.

The Spruce Budworm in Maine in 1950

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm in Maine
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine the effect of natural factors of control, the rearing of parasites, and experimental tests in airplane spraying.
Key Findings: An appraisal of the budworm situation in Maine with recommendations for 1951 is given.
