Picea spp.

The northern conifer forest (taiga) extends at high latitudes, above the temperate deciduous and rain forest and grasslaixl (Fig. 6.1). It is dominated by spruces, Picea spp., and firs, Abies spp. It is an immense continuum, only interrupted by the Atlantic Ocean, fi om Alaska to above the Kamchatka Peninsula, comprising also islands, like Iceland.

The droplet of insecticide on the foliage of fir (Abies balsameae (L) Mill.) and spruce (Picea spp.) may be in the form of a deposit on the surface or it may be absorbed into the foliage depending on the physical-chemical properties of the insecticide, the insecticide mix applied, and the foliage. Some insecticides suffer an initial rapid loss due to washing off and weathering of the deposit while others are absorbed and held in the foliage for periods of up to several months.

Formosan subterranean termites were collected from field colonies in New Orleans, LA, using underground bucket traps (7) baited widi blocks of spruce wood Picea spp). Termites were kept in the lab in 5.6-L covered plastic boxes containing moist sand and blocks of spruce wood until they were used in experiments. Termites from four colonies (Cl, C6, Cl 1, and C12) were used in these experiments.
