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.

The Study of Resistance to Aphids in Crop Plants

Problem Addressed: Insect resistance in crop plants

Key Findings: Progress has been made on the practical use of resistance to aphids in the release to Kansas farmers of corn hybrid Kansas 1859, Ladak alfalfa, and Dicktoo barley, each resistant to a different aphid species. These are being used in plant breeding and give promise of eventual production of insect resistant varieties.

The Role of Fungal Pathogens in Spruce Budworm Population Dynamics: Frequency and Temporal Relationships

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Study the influence of parasites and pathogens on the population dynamics of the spruce budworm

Key Findings: Larvae tend to die late in the afternoon, and sporulation takes place by mid-morning of the following day.
