Abstract: In this paper, we have carried out a detailedstochastic analysis of the Ludwig-Jones–Holling modelpertaining to the occasional population burst ofthe spruce budworms in the coniferous forests of Canada.Our analysis explains the abrupt burst of the populationin the form of cusp catastrophe. A qualitative recipe hasbeen suggested for avoiding the catastrophe. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2001
