Abstract:
Objectives:
To develop and test new forest vegetation management strategies (including
new alternative, improved uses, and optimization) that may be applied
within an operational integrated pest management framework.
Location:
Northern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Journal Articles - national field trip of Chondrostereum purpureum (lead
D. Pitt); Performance of 3 conifer stock types (lead W. Bell); Effects
of season and height of cut on aspen stem sprouting and root suckering
(lead W. Bell); Deposit response relationships for glyphosate and triclopyr
herbicides (lead D. Thompson); Evaluation of Seven vegetation management
alternatives (lead Bell).
Expected Benefits:
Development of environmentally friendly vegetation management techniques
for use in forest management of regenerating stands.
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network
