US study cites Elm Disease control as cheaper than neglect
Burke Stannard of the Defence Research Board argues in The Financial Post that controlling Dutch Elm Disease in Canada, using Urbana and Evanston as models, saves trees and money. Evanston reduced losses to under 1 percent yearly with annual DDT spraying and rapid tree removal, costing about 100000 dollars per year for a city of 100000. Urbana, by contrast, lost 95 percent of elms and faced higher costs for removal and replacement.
