Agreement Date:
Aug 23, 2024 - Apr 30, 2025
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.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
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.

Contributions in support of Spruce Budworm Early Intervention Strategy - 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.
