Abstract:: Mountain pine beetle infestations in the Snell Creek and Warland Peak areas were evaluated in October 1975. Based on current buildup ratios, tree diameter distributions, stand composition and phloem thicknesses, there appears to be limited opportunity for epidemic potential in either area. Management alternatives are discussed. Selective logging is recommended...

Abstract:: Mountain pine beetle reached epidemic levels in the Lazier-Meadow Creek drainages on mixed ownership in 1972. A total of 118,486 trees with an estimated volume of 5,666,124 board feet was killed from 1972 through 1974. Presence of overstocked, mature, nearly pure lodgepole stands, coupled with favorable weather conditions, are believed...

Abstract:: Two concentrations of dimethoate were applied with a hydraulic ground sprayer to cone-bearing Douglas-fir and grand fir trees. Single application (mid-June) and a double application (mid-June and mid-July) were compared. Three of the four treatments applied to Douglas-fir resulted in a significantly higher number of sound seeds produced per cone...

Abstract:: Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk., has caused extensive tree mortality in the North Fork Clearwater River drainage since 1971. In 1974, survey estimates indicated a continued decline in the infestation. Average group size decreased from a high of 158 trees per group in 1971 to 17 in 1974. Average area...

Abstract:: Mountain pine beetle populations reached epidemic levels on approximately 4,600 acres in Glacier National Park in 1972. Infested trees increased from 4.9 in 1972 to 10.9/acre in 1975. Majority of trees killed since 1972 were 12 inches d.b.h. and larger in size. Sufficient large diameter lodgepole pine exists to maintain...

Abstract:: Aerially visible defoliation by the western spruce budworm, Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman, increased from 149,250 acres in 1973 to 649,319 acres in 1974 on five eastern Montana National Forests. An egg mass survey during the fall of 1974 predicted that additional defoliation will occur in 1975 on 47 of 48 plots...
