Effects of aerial application of Zectran (r) UCZF 19 on the growth and development of nestling white-throated sparrows / D. G. Busby ; J. R. Blacquiere.: CW69-5/7E-PDF

"The cholinesterase-inhibiting insecticide Zectran® is currently being tested for spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) control in Canada. Because of its relatively high acute oral toxicity to birds, concern about Zectran' s registration prompted the Canadian Wildlife Service (Atlantic Region) to determine if field application of it is hazardous to songbirds. Of particular concern are nestlings, which are more sensitive to cholinesterase-inhibiting insecticides than are adult songbirds"--Abstract, p. 3.
