Dutch Elm Disease
Description, Diagnosis and Management
|
|
| |
| • |
Dutch Elm disease is a lethal fungus that grows in the
water conducting vessels (Xylem) of American, Red, English and
other varieties of elms. |
| • |
Dutch Elm disease is persistent and remains active in a
community indefinitely. Many cities lose between 3 - 8% of their
elms each year. |
| • |
The most important aspect of controlling Dutch Elm Disease is
sanitation - the timely removal of diseased elms prevents further
spread of the disease. |
| • |
Diseased elms cannot be saved by Macro-Infusion. A process
called tracing has been successful in saving some diseased trees.
|
| • |
Macro-infusion of Arbotect is the recommended treatment
of most major Universities including: University of Minnesota,
University of Michigan, Kansas State University, University
of Wisconsin, and others. |
