Abstract
An approach, involving all of the agencies that might be involved in a spray permit approval, to the design of a chemical control program for a zeiraphera sp. infestation in extensive white spruce plantations in New Brunswick is described. The issues and constraints encountered in the exercise and that would probably be common to any attempt at implementing chemical control of a pest in plantations are highlighted. Steps that must be taken to resolve some of these difficulties are discussed. Adaptive Environmental Assessment and Management is suggested as an approach that might resolve issues and contraints.
