Excerpt from Pilot Control Project Using Trichloforn and Bacillus Thuringiensis Against Forest Tent Caterpillar in Southwest Alabama In the fall of 1974, a cooperative pilot project was established by the usda Forest Service, the Alabama Forestry Commission, Auburn University, and Scott and International paper companies to investigate the effectiveness and environmental impact of trichlorfon and B: thuringiensis when applied on an operational basis. The treatments were applied and the major portion of the informa tion for the impact studies were collected during the spring of 1975. Monitoring of forest tent caterpillar populations was continued for 2 years after treatment, until the summer of 1977, to assess possible long - term population suppression. The objectives of this pilot project were: (1) to determine if the registered rates of trichlorfon and thuringiensis would significantly prevent forest tent caterpillar defoliation on large scale plots and (2) to determine the environmental impact of trichlorfon and B. Thuringiensis on selected nontarget organisms in the Mobile - Tensaw River Basin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
