Plantation Research: XII. Experimental Applications of Insecticides by Mistblower for Control of Choristoneura fumiferana on White Spruce in Quebec, 1974

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Key Findings: Applications of commercial preparations of Bacillus thuringiensis at up to 8 BIU per acre did not provide significant levels of foliage protection when timed against peak third-instar larvae.

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.

Strategic Chemicals for Protection of Coniferous Forests from insect Pests

Problem Addressed: Pests that are destructive to coniferous forests.
Key Findings: Fenitrothion is the no. 1 strategic chemical, followed by phosphamidon and Matacil, for the protection of coniferous forests from defoliating insects, taking into consideration efficacy against the target insects, safety to the other components of the forest ecosystem, economics, availability, adaptability to various formulations and modes of application

The Biological Side-Effects of Fenitrothion in Forests Ecosystems

Problem Addressed: Fenitrothion was both efficacious against spruce budworm larvae and of low hazard to fish and wildlife compared with its predecessors and with compounds available currently
Key Findings: Fenitrothion presents only negligible environmental impact if used as directed

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

A Review of Studies in Maine on the Impact of Aerial Applications of Sevin-4-oil on the Macroinvertebrate Fauna of Streams and Ponds

Problem Addressed: Effects of Sevin-4-oil
Key Findings: Evidence of a relatively severe impact on the fauna and persistence of residues in the sediment indicate that ponds as well as streams should be included in future monitoring programs

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
