PROTECTING HEALTHY TREES ... PREVENTION
Preventive treatment is the key to the survival of the American elm. Results show a 98 percent survival rate when healthy trees are treated every year. Don't wait until disease strikes. Survival rate of diseased trees in most cases averages less than 50 percent. In exactly the same way modern prophylactic medicine protects healthy humans from polio, smallpox and countless contagious diseases, the elm owner is now able to protect his/her healthy trees from infection through the injection of environmentally safe, approved Elm Fungicide.

As soon as leaves are developed to one-half their full size (which immediately precedes beetle emergence and feeding, the process through which the fungus of Dutch Elm Disease is spread) the fungicide is administered to the healthy tree by low pressure injection of a large volume of dilute solution of the chemical directly into the system of the tree at ground level. For details of treatment, see below.

Remember, it is possible for a tree to be infected with DED for one or more seasons without showing visible symptoms. Therefore, when there is a high incidence of disease in the area, it is advisable to assume that any particular tree, having been exposed to the disease, may be infected even though it is not showing symptoms. Treat it accordingly with the dosage recommended on the label, allowing the tree to take up as many tanks of dilute solution as possible.

If you have a tree showing symptoms of Dutch elm disease a therapeutic dose may be administered at the rate of 1 gal per 8 ft. circumference tree (1/2 for preventive.) Therapeutic treatment is 54% effective if trees are injected before 5% of the tree crown is flagging (yellow/brown foliage.)
