The Penn State Office of Physical Plant will begin its second round of its biannual elm tree spraying program at University Park on Monday, according to a release.
An aerial application via helicopter will start the process at first light and will continue with a nighttime ground application on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on weather conditions, the release said. Signage will be posted around the affected areas.
Occurring twice every year during the months of May and July, the spraying abates the spread of Dutch elm disease and elm yellows, and it protects the remaining elms on campus, according to the release.

Penn State startup aims to improve treatment of hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a disease resulting from too much cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. NPH symptoms are often confused with Alzheimer’s disease but in many cases are reversible with the placement of a shunt. The HydroFix shunt developed by Penn State researchers is designed to mitigate the risks associated with the current shunts on the market and provide a durable treatment solution for NPH patients.Image: Penn State
