Gypsy Moth Hits
(Continued from Page 1)
trees that may "be killed by
repeated defoliations.
While regulatory measures are
slowing down spread, USDA has
designed a comprehensive five
year research and development
program that will provide
weapons to bring the destructive
gypsy moth under control.
The program will concentrate
mainly on selective biological
controls with minimal adverse
effects on nontarget organisms
and the environment in general.
Limited use of chemicals will
also be a part of the overall gypsy
moth weapons system which will
capitalize on the best features of
each control method, while
avoiding possible environmental
hazards.
APHS officials are designing
intensified regulatory and control
measures to further minimize
gypsy moth spread (the main
source of long-distance artificial
spread is hitchhiking on mobile
homes and trailers).
Meanwhile, APHS scientists
are attempting to counter this
season’s sprad with a massive
parasite rearing and release
program. Approximately 20,000
parasitic wasps were released at
each site where gypsy moths
were caught for the first time.
Gypsy moths were confined to
the Northeast for many years
after their accidental in
troduction into the United States
in 1869.
Moth populations were being
held at a low level when en
vironmental considerations
caused the discontinuance of
DDT treatments in 1958.
In their caterpillar stage,
gypsy moths strip the leaves
from forest, shade and fruit
trees, as well as ornmanental
shrubs. A single defoliation can
kill white pine, spruce, hemlock
and other softwood trees. Two
defoliations can kill some hard
woods.
