The opportunity to protect elm trees from Dutch Elm Disease (DED) without the use of chemicals, based on the tree’s own natural defence mechanism is now available. Municipalities, landscape and arborist companies as well as private owners finally have a proven and affordable tool to actively and effectively prevent Dutch Elm Disease on their valuable elms using the DutchTrig® vaccine.

DutchTrig® can:

• protect healthy elms from Dutch Elm Disease;
• protect a large numbers of elms every year;
• reduce the costs of protection;
• reduce the use of chemicals in our urban environment;
• minimize wounding of elms.

DutchTrig® is the proven bio-control vaccine for Elms. DutchTrig® is now the choice to safeguard trees from Dutch Elm Disease. Elm bark beetles will no longer be deciding your elms’ fate.

Do you also want to protect your elms? We like to connect with you, so that we can discuss the possibilities.
