Of forest pest conditions for 1988, with some predictions of infestation status for 1989. Nine major pests are discussed in order of importance (spruce budworm, forest tent caterpillar, mountain pine beetle, Dutch elm disease, dwarf mistletoe, yellowheaded spruce sawfly, larch sawfly, large aspen tortrix, jack pine budworm), and additional noteworthy insects, diseases, and tree damage agents are reported. Results of surveys for acid rain symptoms and pests and damage incidence in nurseries and plantations are also reported.

Describes the impacts caused by major forest insects (defoliators and bark beetles) and diseases (excluding those caused by fungi) to the timber resources of the Prairie Provinces and Northwest Territories in terms of wood volume losses due to tree mortality and growth reduction for the 1988-92 period. Most impacts were calculated using an automated system based on defoliation or infestation maps produced by geographic information systems and related inventory data. Results are presented for losses due to the following: spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana), jack pine budworm (C. pinus pinus), forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria), large aspen tortrix (C. conflictana), bruce spanworm (Operophtera bruceata), mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), spruce beetle (D. rufipennis), Douglas-fir beetle (D. pseudotsugae), Lodgepole pine dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum), and wood decay.

Forest pest conditions in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories during 1990 are summarized and some predictions of infestation status are given for 1991. Twelve major pests are discussed, and additional noteworthy insects, diseases, and tree damage agents are reported in a table. An updating of surveys for acid rain symptoms in permanently established ARNEWS (Acid Rain National Early Warning System) plots and pest damage incidence in young coniferous stands are also reported.

The papers presented in this book cover the range of forest insect pest management activities in Canada. The first section contains papers on the current status of insect pests by region, including data on insect populations and extent of defoliation caused by the insect. The next section covers pest management technology, including the use of insecticides, insect viruses, fungal pathogens, growth regulators, antifeedants, pheromones, natural predators, and aerial spraying. The third section contains papers on the application of technology and equipment for forest pest control, and includes papers on the impacts of insecticides on the forest environment. The fourth section describes operational control programs by province. The final paper presents future strategies for the management of forest pests. An author index is included.
