The results presented here provide a more comprehensive data base of preference and suitability of North American, European, and Asian elm bio-types for the elm leaf beetle, and provide further direction for future elm breeding programs for resistance to elm leaf beetles and other leaf-feeding insect pests, eventually resulting in a reduction in the need for chemical pesticides."
