Goal(s)/Objective(s): Presents sample size -- precision relationships for use in estimating budworm-caused tree mortality, which were derived from data collected over a 5-year period from 25 plots on the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia.
Key Findings: Results will assist in choosing the type and number of plots required for a specific precision level in future studies determining stand characteristics or budworm-caused tree mortality.
Problem Addressed: Overview of Spruce Budworm problem in Maine in 1970
Key Findings: 210,000 acres in the Oxbow area of northern Aroostook County were sprayed with fenitrothion in 1970 to control the spruce budworm and protect trees
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Compare 4 different concentrations of acephate (tank mixes) applied at different volume rates.
Key Findings: Reducing application rates of Orthene Forest Spray formulations from 64 fl oz per acre to 32 fl oz per acre or less decreased budworm control in Maine
Goal(s)/Objective(s): A way to rapidly communicate useful information and techniques to our cooperators, to forest managers, and to forest pest management people.
