Monsanto isn't quite 100% kneejerking: given that science has advanced enough to splice insect DNA into our food crops, it shouldn't be too difficult to diagnose new problems as they occur in the wild -- there might even be useful knowledge waiting to be discovered.
Unless, of course, priorities and money and all that, because ohia doesn't make food or biofuel, etc.
In all fairness, I'll also note that the OP didn't say anything about where these dying ohia are located, or what may have happened recently. Are the dead ohias all along a newly-ripped driveway? Maybe downslope from a commercial farm, or someone's new cesspool? Hmm?
