Effect of Pesticides on Cholinesterase from Aquatic Species: Crayfish, Trout and Fiddler Crab

Problem Addressed: Use of pesticides and the development of quantitative assays for low concentrations of these pesticides
Key Findings: Nineteen pesticides were tested for inhibition of cholinesterase activity derived from trout brain, crayfish nervous system and whole fiddler crabs. Inhibition by low concentrations of a few of these pesticides permitted a very sensitive and selective assay. Chlorinated pesticides as a class showed little inhibitory effect on trout and crab cholinesterase. Carbamates strongly inhibit all three enzymes.

Environmental Impact Studies of Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura Fumiferana Clemens) Control Programs in New Brunswick in 1976

Problem Addressed: Untoward effects to non-target organisms of the forest ecosystem increases as new products, dosage rates and pesticide combinations are introduced into the spray regime.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presents the results of studies carried out in New Brunswick to determine immediate effects and short-term impact of a series of trials employing several chemical insecticides at varying dosage rates upon breeding bird and small mammal populations and benthic organisms in treated streams
Key Findings: Aminocarb employed as an adulticide had no significant effects on bird or aquatic insect populations

Optimum Swath Widths and Application Rates for Selected Aircraft and Meteorological Regimes

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine optimum swath widths and spray application rates which achieve a uniform coverage of 20 to 25 drops per square centimeter at the top of the forest canopy under various meteorological conditions for five different types of spray aircraft.
