Abstract

Information from many sources, published and unpublished, was used in preparing this handbook. The principal source of information was a study in northeastern Oregon conducted as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Expanded Douglas-Fir Tussock Moth Research and Development Program. The purpose of that study was to determine the effects of three chemical insecticides on forest fauna. Results of that study are not reported here, but information about the techniques used for monitoring was drawn primarily from that work.
