Iowa trees face multiple diseases this year and treatment varies by disease. Plant pathologist Paul H. Schuldt of Iowa State College advises identifying phloem necrosis in elm by base-of-tree damage and wintergreen odor, with DDT-based spraying in two periods. He notes spraying this year won’t show effects until 1951 and recommends 4 heaping tablespoons of 40 percent DDT wettable powder in 3 gallons of water or 1 pound in 40 gallons, applied mid June to late July, with repeat applications next year if symptoms persist.
The disease, favored by cool wet spring weather, can kill a single tree if persistent for years. Sycamore, white oak, elm, walnut and ash show susceptibility. symptoms include brown veins and leaf drop. Spray with three Bordeaux mixtures 2 weeks apart as leaves expand. Schuldt recommends 44-59 mixture of copper sulfate lime and water.
