SEATTLE (AP) — Tree seedlings with garlic breath might prevent millions of dollars in damage by deer who normally savor the sprigs’ tasty tops, a research- er says. A. chemical engineering group from the University of Washington has come up with a way to give young Douglas firs an odor that dis- courages the foraging ani- mals, Graduate student David Gustafson told an American Chemical Society conference that slow-release pellets planted with the seedlings protect the trees for three to five years. By that time, they are too tall for the deer to nibble their tops. The pellets are dissolved by rainwater, and a com- pound of selenium is ab- sorbed by roots and taken up in the tree, Gustafson said. The tree eliminates the mat- erial as dimethyl selinide, “the same gas your friends complain about after you've eaten spaghetti with garlic bread,” he said.
