Specifically having in mind the highly leached, over used and degraded soils of the highland areas of Africa. IITA is doing quite some work in this field. I am even willing to look for funding to bring participants from Africa and develop a session. Your notice is very short. Our institute is being reviewed this week and from 24th June to 24th July, I will be on leave. Please put me on some list and get in contact with me, after July 24th.

They are found parasitizing a broad range of crops, can = cause serious or even total yield losses and occur in all countries; both temperate and tropical. The recognition of symptoms of damage, the assessment of actual crop losses and, most importantly, the identity = of the nematodes responsible are essential prerequisites to facilitate the e= conomic control of these pests, many of which are also of quarantine signific= ance. Entomopathogenic nematodes are widespread in temperate and tropical s= oils and show great potential for biological control of many insect pests. Accurate identification is essential in facilitating their appropriat= e use against such pests. A comprehensive Course Manual and Certificate of Attendance are provided for all participants. Course Objectives The course is designed to give participants a thorough grounding in a= ll aspects of practical plant nematology with particular emphasis on the identification of parasites of economic importance. Other important a= spects to be covered include symptoms of damage and appropriate control meas= ures, particularly for tropical crops. Entomopathogenic nematodes with pote= ntial for biocontrol will also be covered. This is an applied course design= ed to enable participants to identify important plant and insect parasitic nematodes and the damage they cause. A major part of the course is de= voted to practical work including the examination of live nematodes from tr= opical crops.=20 Topics covered include: * Sampling, extraction, killing, fixing, storing, processing and moun= ting of nematodes * General morphology of the major groups of plant and insect nematode= s * Identification of families and genera of plant parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes, with emphasis on those of agricultural importance * Molecular characterization of nematodes * Disease symptoms * Management of nematodes attacking crops * Biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes * Information sourcing Course Presenters Main presenters: Dr David Hunt, who has worked in nematode taxonomy for more than 20 y= ears, has published descriptions of a large number of new species and a boo= k on the Aphelenchida, Longidoridae and Trichodoridae. He has taught on a= ll eight of the previous international courses and has also designed CD-= ROM based pictorial keys to nematode genera. Dr John Bridge, who has over 25 years field experience on many tropic= al crops in Africa, Asia, South and Central America and the Pacific and = has published many papers on diagnosis and management of nematode problem= s. He also co-edited a comprehensive book on tropical nematodes and has tau= ght on most of the previous courses. Dr Richard Plowright, who has worked on nematode pathogenicity and resistance studies and has extensive field experience on rice and oth= er crops. He has worked in Africa and Asia on nematode problems, includ= ing participatory and non-participatory crop loss assessment and has considerable experience of experimental design and in vitro culture m= ethods. Other course presenters include: Dr Nigel Price, who has extensive field experience in the tropics, particularly on banana and plantain crops, but also tree crops such a= s sesbania. Mr Bernie Briscoe, who is an expert on entomopathogenic nematodes wit= h considerable overseas experience in surveying for insect nematodes an= d in culturing, storing and applying entomopathogenic nematodes. Dr Alex Reid, who is an experienced molecular taxonomist with particu= lar expertise on characterizing entomopathogenic nematodes using RFLP ana= lysis Dr Bill Hominick, Director, Biosystematics and Molecular Biology and = who also has much experience of insect nematodes, including mermithids an= d entomopathogenic genera. In addition, a number of external presenters will be used, including = Dr M R Siddiqi, one of the pre-eminent nematode taxonomists in the world who= has described over 400 new species and written a comprehensive text on th= e Tylenchida, now in its second edition. Applications Applicants should have a good practical knowledge of the English lang= uage and have some experience of working with plant or insect nematodes.= =20 The course fee is =A34,000, including all essential materials and self-catering accommodation at nearby Royal Holloway College (Univers= ity of London).=20 Applications should be returned by 11 February 2000 to reserve a plac= e on this course.

Since there will be four sessions running concurrently at most times, we wish to avoid instances of "carousel rage" caused by all available carousels being in use. Speakers are responsible for placing their slides in a slide carousel. If you do not have your own carousel, you may borrow a carousel from the Santa Monica Room ('Speaker-Ready' room). To insure that everyone has a carousel when needed (we only have 50 or so carousels), please do the following: a) If you have a morning talk, do not take a carousel from the Santa Monica Room until 5 PM on the preceding day. b) If you have an afternoon talk, do not take a carousel until the morning of your talk. c) When the session in which you talk is completed, immediately remove your slides from the borrowed carousel and give the empty carousel to the projectionist. The projectionist will return carousels to the Santa Monica Room. To ensure compliance, non-uniformed CAROUSEL POLICE may detain and interrogate you in the hotel lobby and will randomly inspect hotel rooms in pre-dawn raids. If your slides are thick (European style slides are sometimes thicker than those from the USA), use a 'Universal' carousel (usually black rather than gray) or the slides may stick. Preview your slides in the Santa Monica Room to ensure they are in order and properly oriented. Once your slides are in the carousel (whether the carousel is your own or is borrowed from the Santa Monica Room), label the side with your name and talk number 'A. S. Smith #549'. Use masking tape and a marker pen (available in the Santa Monica Room) to label your carousel. Give your labeled carousel to the projectionist in the appropriate meeting room 10 - 15 minutes before the session starts. This will help the projectionist keep the talks/slides in order.
