Historical insecticide applications for the treatment of forest insect pests from 1968 to 2017, in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Abstract Key message The geospatial dataset describes large-scale applications of insecticides to forests from 1968 to 2017 in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and Nova Scotia (NS), Canada. The data was assembled to provide a historical record of forested land management practices to control insect populations (Heartz et al. 2024). These data are useful for research into the efficacy and long-term environmental impacts, which will inform future pest management decision-making.
