Dutch elm disease
Dutch elm disease (DED) is highly virulent disease of rapid expansion, transmitted very effectively by small beetles of the genus Scolytus, and very difficult to control by chemical or biological methods. The selection and breeding of resistant genotypes is the most viable option for elm recovery, despite being a slow process alternative and the scarcity of tolerant native elms (0.02% of those evaluated).
