• 1. [Article] Evaluation of mountain pine beetle infestation, Hebgen Lake Ranger District, Gallatin National Forest, Montana, 1978

  Mountain pine beetle populations developed to epidemic level in 1970 on the Hebgen Lake Ranger District. Infested acreage increased from 78,000 in 1977 to 79,061 in 1978. More than 4 million trees (238 ...

Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry, McGregor, Mark D., Bennett, D. D. Mountain pine beetle populations developed to epidemic level in 1970 on the Hebgen Lake Ranger District. Infested acreage increased from 78,000 in 1977 to 79,061 in 1978. More than 4 million trees (238 MMBF) were killed in 1978. Cold temperatures during December 1978 may cause a significant decline in the beetle population, resulting in a decline in the number of newly attacked trees in 1979. Potential mortality from the beetle can be reduced and prevented through an accelerated program of (1) logging infested trees, and (2) silvicultural treatment of green and infested stands to reduce the inventory of large diameter highly preferred trees. High valued lodgepole pine in recreation and administrative sites should be sprayed with the preventative chemical, Sevimo1-4, to protect trees from beetle attack until the epidemic declines.

Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry, Hamel, Dennis R., McGregor, Mark D. Mountain pine beetle populations developed to epidmic level on the Bozeman-Gallatin Ranger District in 1969. Approximately 146,000 acres are currently infested. Since 1969, over 350 MMBF have been killed. It is predicted that over 4 million trees could be killed in 1978. Infestation is predicted to intensify in high-hazard stands. Populations have declined in areas where infestation first developed in 1969. Potential losses can be reduced through an accelerated program of (1) sanitation salvage cutting and (2) silvicultural management. High hazard stands should receive first priority.
