A Review of Entomological Survey and Assessment Techniques used in Regional Spruce Budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) Surveys and in the Assessment of Operational Spray Programs

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Ensure on a technical level the general principles of survey and assessment techniques were understood and evaluated in a manner unlikely to cause problems between jurisdictions, and create a sufficient standardization of techniques to allow a realistic comparison of results across jurisdictions.
Key Findings: Differences which existed were only minor and usually reflected modifications to suit local conditions or needs and standardization seemed unnecessary.
