SWIFT Owner FOOD AVAILABLE jne Farm recently sold half interest of Northcroft Ella Elevation, the 1980 All-American Aged Cow by unanimous USDA studies of new corn pest BELTSVILLE, Md. - USDA’s Science and Education Ad ministration has allocated $llO,OOO to determine the extent and seriousness of the infestation of a new com pest recently found in Maryland. The funding from SEA Agricultural Research will support studies on the small, wormlike, corn cyst nematode by the Nematology Laboratory at Belt sville Agricultural Research Center, in cooperation with the University of Maryland. Although the com cyst nematode is considered to be an economically important problem in India, the susceptibility of U.S. com and other crops is unknown. The funds will be used to deter mine the threat to U.S. crops. In Egypt and India, barley and sorghum are affected, as well as com. The, first identification of the com cyst nematode in the Western Hemisphere was made by Morgan Golden, curator of the USDA Nematode Collection. Golden found the nematode in samples brought to him in March by Lorm Krusberg and Sandra Sardanelli, I both at the University of BUCK TRACTOR PULLS EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT AT 7 P.M.

The sod samples, part of a routine survey of Maryland sods, were taken from a Kent County com field. The com cyst nematode is similar to two other closely related nematodes in its physical characteristics and type of plant damage. These are the soybean cyst nematode and the sugarbeet cyst nematode, both of which cause extensive damage to crops in the United States. Research plans include improving the description of the com cyst nematode to make identifcation easier, and evaluating the threat of this nematode to U.S. com and small grain production, said R.V. Rebois, head of the Nematology Laboratory. The com cyst nematode and other cyst-forming nematodes damage crops by feeding on plant roots, seriously weakening the plants. Also, enlargement of specialized cells and cell wall destruction in the area of the nematodes’ feeding causes a blockage that prevents nutrients from reaching roots and leaves. USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service did not quarantine Maryland’s soil, since the extent of the com cyst nematode’s infestation in Maryland and in other states is unknown. In Maryland, farmers are voluntarily restricting the transport of soil and equipment from infested areas. “Once the com cyst nematode becomes established in the soil, eradication is almost impossible,” said Golden. Some of the nematode’s eggs are protected by a hardened sac, or cyst, made from the female nematode’s body. In this form the eggs remain alive in the soil for several years. Planting a non-susceptible crop in an infested field may help reduce the numbers of nematodes that remain m the soil. Since nematodes are small (l/30th of an mch) identification is impossible without the use of microscope slides and high magnification, according to Golden. Plants that are severely infected with nematodes are stunted and have narrowed, yellowish leaves. Farmers who suspect these symptoms are caused by a com cyst nematode infestation m their fields, should take a sample of soil and roots to a local agricultural extension agent
