A46-—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 7,1981 __ Goat owners Com pest (Continued from Page Al) Through the PL 480 program, USDA researchers also confirmed the pest in Pakistan and Egypt Kent County Agent W. James Milhken said yield reduction on the local farm may not be due to the nematode but rather to other growing season factors. Next to nothing is known about the pest’s life cycle. Little research work has been done on it. The cyst, which contains the eggs and larvae, is brown, about one nulimeter in lenght, and 500 microns in diameter. It is related to the soybean cyst nematode. Plant protection officials say they have absolutely no idea how the pest got to the Kent County farm. But USDA’s A M. Golden, a nematode expert, speculates it must have been in the sod for as long as five to 10 years for it to build to its current numbers. “We know almost nothing about Heterodera zeae,” Golden admits. The pest, like other nematodes, can be spread by machinery, animals, or humans. Custom fertilizer applications to the field also may have spread the cyst on machinery. It takes a number of years for the cyst to multiply to the point where it shows up in soil assays. It takes a similar length of time again for it to build a population large enough to do damage Because of the long time factor involved, the researchers said they have to presume the nematode has long since moved beyond the boundaries of the original farm For that reason a fumigation or sterilization program of that farm’s fields probably will be impractical. USDA officials are working on the assumption the corn cyst nematode eventually will cause damage to US. corn yields, although the India studies which showed yield damage were not done with U S. hybrids to hear veterinarian LANCASTER - Dairy goat owners are invited to the next regular meeting of the Dutch Country Dairy Goat Club, to be We kind ot wish there won’t be much publicity on this,” one agriculture official said, adding there was no reason to start a panic USDA also said it is concerned that all state and international ag pest control officials be informed of the confirmation of the com cyst nematode before any published reports would appear before farmers or the public. APHIS said it is moving so fast they don’t have the imput from other groups which will be needed to make decisions on how to handle the situation In coming weeks, USDA and APHIS officials will be working with members of the Maryland Department of Agriculture, the University of Maryland, the county extension service, and other agencies in an attempt to define further the problem, continue efforts to find out how widespread the pest may be, and to develop procedures to combat any damage corn cyst nematode may do to Maryland’s or the nation’s corn crop. Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Plant Protection Section said it plans to set up a survey of farms in the area of the original discovery, working out from that one data point. Maryland officials say there is little chance the pest "escaped” from the nematode lab near Middletown since that lab works mostly with potato nematodes, especially Golden nematode. John Lightfield, an official at APHIS, said the various groups will be gathering information for some time before any firm con clusions or recommendations can be made on extent or control of the pest held at 7 pm. Friday, March 13 at the Lancaster Farm and Home Center Dr Richard Stoneback, Veterinarian and goat breeder from Oxford, will be present to discuss care of the kidding doe and the newborn kid, mastitis, parasites and other health con cerns The Amyr goat herd has won Dr Stoneback much recognition in the show ring and in the breeding circles nationally and locally As a practicing veterinarian and goat owner, Dr. Stoneback has much experience to share from his many years working with and treating goats.
