Description
The objective of this project is to protect the forests by keeping spruce budworm populations in Atlantic Canada below epidemic numbers through targeted insecticide treatments. The secondary objective is to enable scientific research into the effectiveness of early intervention in the management of spruce budworm outbreaks.
Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est de protéger les forêts en maintenant les populations de tordeuses des bourgeons de l'épinette au Canada atlantique en sous le nombre d'épidémie grâce à des traitements insecticides ciblés. L'objectif secondaire est de permettre la recherche scientifique sur l'efficacité d'une intervention précoce dans la gestion des épidémies de tordeuse des bourgeons de l'épinette.
Expected Results
The treatment methodology ensures that only susceptible forests with known populations of SBW "hot spots" are treated with the minimun quantity of products at the optimal point in their larval development.
Expected Results (French)
La méthodologie de traitement garantit que seules les forêts sensibles avec des populations connues de TBE « points chauds » sont traitées avec la quantité minimale de produits au point optimal de leur développement larvaire.

Contributions à l'appui de la stratégie d'intervention prècoce contre la tordeuse des bourgeons de l'épinette - phase III
Program Purpose
The objectives of the program are to: Reduce SBW populations in Atlantic Canada’s forests to prevent development of an outbreak, tree defoliation and wood supply loss, through small area target-specific insecticide application; and, improve knowledge and tools to address current and future SBW outbreak development and spread.
Program Purpose (French)
Les objectifs du programme sont les suivants : réduire les populations de TBE dans les forêts du Canada atlantique afin de prévenir les infestations, la défoliation des arbres et la perte de l’approvisionnement en bois, grâce à l’application d’insecticides dans de petites régions ciblées; et améliorer les connaissances et les outils pour faire face au développement et à la propagation actuels et futurs des infestations de TBE.
