We have chosen to use Victor Dropkin's "Introduction to Plant Nematology" as one of our required texts, however, the book is out of stock at the publisher and they are unsure as to whether it will even be reprinted. We have had the Cornell Textbook store attempt to locate used copies, but they have been unsucessful. If anyone is aware of a source for used copies of this book, I would appreciate it if they could pass this information on to me at: nam10@cornell.edu Thanks in advance, N.

I read a brief note about using nematodes and/or some form of tiny wasp to control roaches in the home. A school in the northeast had eliminated their roach problem with them. Does anyone know about this subject and can you point me in the right direction for obtaining some nematodes for roach control? ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 14:05:23 -0500 Reply-To: NEMA Discussion List Sender: NEMA Discussion List From: Grover Smart Subject: Re: Nematodes for Roach Control MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Inquire of Dr. Phil Koehler, University of Florida, e-mail pgk@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu >Forgive me if this is an old topic and point me at the archives please. > > >I read a brief note about using nematodes and/or some form of tiny wasp to >control roaches in the home.

This article reviews the plant parasitic nematodes of the major mandate crops of the International Agricultural Research Centres, which include 19 of the world's key staple crops such as rice, wheat, maize, potato and barley, and discusses the problems faced by those working in plant nematology around the world. It emphasises the damage caused by plant parasitic nematodes, the "unseen enemies" of crops; nematologists have estimated that they cause crop yield losses at nearly 9% in the developed world and at over 14% in developing countries. Despite this, the authors argue that plant nematology is a sorely neglected science within the IARCs, with the number of nematologists remaining static over the last twenty years, while staff numbers overall have increased by 250% in the same period. The authors go on to discuss why plant nematology has been accorded such a low profile over the years and argue for an increased recognition of the work carried out by plant nematologists worldwide. The authors further discuss the significant contribution nematology can make to various aspects of the current research agenda of the IARCs and highlight the importance of including a consideration of nematode problems in future IARC attempts at developing more intensive yet sustainable agricultural production systems. The scientific and institutional structures and linkages relevant to such activities are considered and the article is supported by an extensive bibliography of references. The full-text of this major Review Article is available to all PEST CABWeb registered users as a PDF file (http://pest.cabweb.org) in the Monthly Feature section until the end of September, or in the September 1997 printed issue of Nematological Abstracts. ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Sep 1997 13:46:00 -0700 Reply-To: NEMA Discussion List Sender: NEMA Discussion List From: "Safia Siddiqi (CABI)" Subject: New CD Comments: To: nema MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN Subscribers to this list may be interested to know that CABI have published a new CD- ROM product entitled Root-Knot Nematode Taxonomic Database, compiled by Dr. Jonathan D. Eisenback, of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA. This disc brings together, in an accessible and user-friendly form, data otherwise scattered in the often obscure literature. It will enable researchers around the world to have access to all of the information that is necessary to identify a population, to recognise an undescribed species, and to describe it adequately. This valuable resource is essentially a CD ROM library for the entire Meloidogyne genus, including more than 80 of the original descriptions. All of the historical papers since the first observation of the genus in 1855 are included. Descriptions in foreign languages have been translated into English and the text of both original and translation are on the disc. Features include over 450 articles, monographes, book chapters, photographs & drawings, video clips, over 100 pictures and distribution maps. Root Knot Nematode CD is designed to provide an up-to-date reference as well as a teaching resource for nematologists and others interested in the group of root-knot nematodes.
