Dutch Elm Disease Control in Colorado

Abstract

At the present time there is no known cure for Dutch elm disease once a tree has been infected. — Many people have claimed they have a cure for Dutch elm disease. However, none of these claimants have been able to present evidence that is recognized as valid by responsible plant pathologists. Until such time as the research teams develop a scientifically proven preventive or cure for Dutch elm disease, our efforts must be directed toward protecting our elms through vigorous application of the time-tested and reasonably effective program of spraying, scouting and sanitation.
