Symposium on microbial control of spruce budworm and gypsy moth
The principal purpose of this Symposium is to take advantage of the CANUSA experience, which has engaged so many of us recently, to share and place in the context of our total experience, the current situation regarding microbial insecticides and their use. The exercise will be useful not only for information exchange ? the traditional purpose of symposia -- but also...

Pennsylvania's experiences with microbial control of the gypsy moth
Pennsylvania's first experience with using Bt on insect control occurred in 1964. For the next 17 years, various projects were conducted, in cooperation with the USFS and industry, in an effort to secure operational status of Bt for gypsy moth suppression. This point was reached in 1982, and the Governor was convinced that the time was right to convert most gypsy...

Agrilus planipennis
Fairmaire, a buprestid native to several Asian countries, was identified as the causative agent of ash (

Microbial control of wood-boring insects attacking forest and shade trees
Wood-boring insect pests that feed on the bark, phloem, or xylem (wood) of living trees pose unique management challenges because their immature stages live in cryptic, often inaccessible, habitats within host trees. The eggs of wood borers are laid in or on tree trunks, branches, terminal shoots, or roots. After the eggs hatch, neonates tunnel in and feed on internal...

Spray swath patterns of small aircraft and vertical distribution of microbial spray deposits
Each year in Northeastern United States over 500,000 acres of oak forests are aerially sprayed to prevent massive defoliation by the gypsy moth. In Pennsylvania alone 400,000 acres were proposed for treatment in 1983 with commercial preparation of
Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt).

Interactions between microbial agents and gypsy moth parasites
The parasite
Cotesia melanoscelus
attacks small gypsy moth larvae more successfully than large ones, and
Bacillus thuringiensis
retards the growth of caterpillars it does not kill. Together, both factors lead to higher parasitism by
C. melanoscelus
in areas sprayed with
B. thuringiensis

Overall aspects of Bt in forest service cooperative gypsy moth suppression projects
Improvements in Bt performance and cost, coupled with public concerns over human health risks have elevated Bt to a viable alternative to chemical insecticides. Operational use of Bt in recent years has demonstrated that while foliage protection can generally be achieved in most situations, gypsy moth population reduction cannot. Efforts are needed to improve Bt...

Selection of active strains of the gypsy moth nuclearpolyhedrosis virus
The gypsy moth
Lymantria dispar
(Linnaeus) has grown in economic importance as an insect pest over the past 75 years. From a localized infestation of a small geographical area of New England, the gypsy moth has spread to such an extent that is now found over much of the United States. Control measures are varied, but effective biological control is...

Recent field research experience with B.t. against spruce budworm in the eastern U.S.
Recent testing in the eastern U. S. has led quickly to the adoption of 12 BIU/acre as the best operational dosage rate, with operational spray emission rates reduced to a quart or less per acre. Some recent work suggests that older larval instars of the budworm are highly susceptible to B.t. sprays, and the effective "spray window" can be broadened when...
