Abstract

In a study assessing priorities for research in forestry insecticide application technology, Campbell and Howard (1994) surveyed users, applicators, researchers, and regulators in Canada and the United States. Respondents were asked to rank up to 52 research topics in order of importance. The top five topics selected were the following:

  1. 1.

    Increase the residual efficacy of Bt and viruses

  2. 2.

    Determine how to develop public support for aerial application of pesticides in forestry

  3. 3.

    Determine appropriate, scientifically-based buffer zone widths required to prevent significant environmental impact in sensitive areas

  4. 4.

    Develop techniques for rapid and accurate determination of Bt and virus tank potency

  5. 5.

    Develop a practical deposit assessment technique for operational Bt and virus applications.
