↵a Table reproduced from Kondo (1977).
↵b Dafa from Central Ontario.
↵c ”Lost” means the elm had little aesthetic value, owing to DED; however, the elm was not necessarily dead.
↵d Period of chemical effectiveness (a) Root injection-2 years (year of injection plus the following year), (b) Flare injection-1 year (the year of injection only)
↵e The eight losses were traced to poor chemical distribution resulting from poor injection techniques employed by one crew during a three-day period.
↵f Loss resulted from little or no chemical uptake because of the site on which the elm was located.
