Introduction The opportunity to protect American elms from Dutch elm disease, without the use of chemicals, based on the treexs own natural resistance mechanisms, is now available throughout the US. With the Dutch Trig vaccine, Cityxs, Parks and Private elm owners finally have a proven tool to actively and effectively prevent Dutch elm disease on their valuable elms, at acceptable costs. How does Dutch Trig® work? The inoculated spores of Verticillium induce a response of the immune system of the tree and awaken the treexs natural defence mechanisms.

Dutch elm disease infection later in the growing season thanks to Dutch Trig. Method of application The method of injecting (actually inoculating) has been chosen, to enable the Arborist to use as little control agent as possible, to use it directly on only the targeted tree, to ensure a direct uptake by the tree and to reach the new year-ring effectively. The results Dutch Trig® is effective as a preventative treatment on healthy trees. Injections are repeated yearly, because every year the new growth ring has to be treated to become immune. As soon as trees have already gotten ill, or are connected with diseased trees via root grafts, injections are no longer useful. Current Use The vaccine is being used on 35.000 trees in the Netherlands every year. Extensive testing has been done in the US since 1995 in mayor cities like Chicago, Denver, Seattle,and along the East Coast. Full registration for the US was achieved in 2005. Currently, about 2.500 American elms are injected every year in the US. Dutch Trig is available now for treatment in the US.
