Researching the Tussock moth Item Info
- Title:
- Researching the Tussock moth
- Date Created (ISO Standard):
- 1960
- Approximated Date:
- yes
- Description:
- Symbolic of the quest for new tools to help combat Douglas-fir tussock moth outbreaks, Dr. Gary Daterman, a U. S. Forest Service research scientist at Corvallis, Oregon, watches intently to see if caged male moths will be trapped by the lure of the female tussock moth's sex attractant. If the sex attractant can be manufactured synthetically, it might be used as an early warning device to help detect tussock moth infestations before they reach epidemic proportions.
