Aerial Spraying Operations Against Blackheaded Budworm on Vancouver Island, 1973

Problem Addressed: Spruce budworm and blackheaded budworm outbreak
Goal(s)/Objective(s): An aerial spray project conducted by the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia and the Province of British Columbia to protect 29,000 acres of hemlock forest on northern Vancouver Island from additional defoliation by an outbreak of blackheaded budworm.
Key Findings: Monitoring of the effects of the operations on non-target organisms revealed that populations of juvenile salmon, songbirds and small mammals suffered no immediate ill effects. However, there was considerable mortality of several families of aquatic and terrestrial insects.

Pilot Control Project to Determine Efficacy of Acephate, Carbaryl, and Trichlorfon Against the Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)) in Maine — 1976

Problem Addressed: Insecticide use against spruce budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Conduct a pilot control project to evaluate the efficacy of three different insecticides in reducing larval populations of the budworm and minimizing the amount of defoliation to host trees.
Key Findings: Each of the insecticides could be effectively used against the spruce budworm with minimal and transitory effects on the environment.

Environmental Studies in the Use of Accothion for Spruce Budworm Control (1971)

Problem Addressed: Effect on wildlife from spraying against Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Effects of the insecticide Accothion birds, mammals, fish, and amphibians
Key Findings: Observations in the spray area were made on reactions to Accothion of a great variety of species of flora and fauna present. Accothion showed observable effects on some insects but not on other insects; nor on plants, birds, minnows in a confined pool, tadpoles, frogs, toads, and salamanders.
