Fenitrothion Residues in Honeybees and Their Products Collected From Forested Areas Sprayed with the Insecticide for Budworm Control

Problem Addressed: Fenitrothion effects on honeybees

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Results and observations made in an extensive three-year study program undertaken in 1972 to determine the effect of fenitrothion applied by aircraft at operational levels on honeybees and its residues, if any, in 122 honeybee, pollen, beeswax and honey samples collected from sprayed forest areas in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

Final Report on The Effects of Forest Spraying on Reproduction in Smallmouth Bass Populations in Washington County

Problem Addressed: Smallmouth bass waters lie within the proposed spray area for operational control of spruce budworm

Key Findings: No direct fish mortality or physiological and behavioral responses were observed because of the doses used, the low toxicity, and the avoidance of direct application in the lake.

The Effect of an Experimental Application of Dimiln Upon Selected Forest Fauna

Key Findings: No immediate or short term effects of Dimilin treatment on small forest songbirds or colonies of domestic honey bees. Small mammal populations in the treatment area were too low to assess insecticide impact. Further studies of the short and long term effects of this compound on non-target organisms are recommended, particularly with respect to components of aquatic ecosystems.

Recommendation: Further field and laboratory testing of the effects of Dimilin on non-target organisms

Impact on Forest Birds of the 1975 Spruce Budworm Spray Operation in New Brunswick

Problem Addressed: Spray operations against Spruce Budworm are hurting songbirds

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assessing impact on breeding birds of forest spray operations using two methods.

Key Findings: Major portion of the kill of songbirds was due to exposure to phosphamidon

The role of herbicides for enhancing forest productivity and conserving land for biodiversity in North America

Problem Addressed: Do herbicides increase forest productivity, and are they compatible with the objectives of wildlife management and biodiversity conservations?

Key Findings: If herbicides are properly used, current research indicates that the negative effects on wildlife are usually short-term and that herbicides can be used to meet wildlife habitat objectives.
