PERFORMANCE GIVEN Michael Chapdelaine,
Visiting Artist at the College of The Albemarle, performed
at the Rocky Hock Community Center on Saturday,
November 7, 7:30 P. M. The purpose of this unique
program was to provide the community with exposure to
the Fine Arts and to deepen the appreciation of the arts.
Soybean Production Is Down
RALEIGH lnfestations
of soybean cyst, root-knot,
lesion, sting and other plant
parasistic nematodes
reduced North Carolina
soybean production by
approximately six percent
last year, costing producers
over $16.8-million, ac
cording to Dr. Don Schmitt,
extension plant pathologist
for soybeans, N. C. State
University.
“These nematodes are
causing a lot of damage, but
each one is not necessarily
statewide,” he says.
“Soybean cyst nematodes
are primarily a problem in
the Coastal Plains and
Tidewater regions, while
damage by the lesion
nematodes is mostly con
fined to the Southeastern
Coastal Plains. You can find
root-knot nematodes
practically anywhere in the
state; the sting nematodes
is confined to only very
sandy soil types.
Schmitt says root-knot
nematodes are the most
widespread over the state
and accounted for one
percentage point of the six
percent loss. Lesion
nematodes occur in
potentially damaging levels
in about 10 per cent of the
fields in the Coastal Plains;
the cyst damages about four
per cent of the fields; and
the sting nematode injures
less than one percent of the
soybean fields.
Nematode infestations
become apparent early in
the growing season,
although the symptoms for
each nematode vary, says
Schmitt. Plants affected by
cyst or sting appear yellow
and stunted. Lesion
nematodes also stunt plants
and can be devastating in
some southeastern counties.
Plants with root-knot in
festations often achieve
their full growth potential
but may turn yellow. Ip all
cases, a farmer can expect
below-average yields at
harvest if the infestation of
any of these nematodes is
severe enough.
Nematode infestations
can easily be confused with
low soil fertility or other
unfavorable conditions.
Therefore, a farmer should
submit soil and plant
samples to determine
nematode numbers and
types, and whether
corrective measures are
needed.
The optimum time to take
a soil sample for assay is
immediately after harvest,
says Schmitt. Samples
should contain at least 20
probes taken from areas no
larger than five acres,
containing a uniform soil.
Soil samples should be
gathered with a one-inch
diameter soil probe to a
depth of six to eight inches.
They should be sealed in a
plastic bag and delivered to
a county Extension office or
the NCDA Nematode Ad
visory Laboratory v im
mediately or stored at 55 F
until the sample can be
delivered to the Nematode
Laboratory. Nematodes in a
sample may be destroyed if
exposed to heat, drying or
rough handling.
/ A farmer should include
with each sample a com
field (include varieties I
used), next year’s crop I
plans, any previous use of I
control chemicals (her- I
bicides, insecticides, etc) I
and his name and address, I
says Schmitt. A form I
outlining these re- I
quirements, as well as a I
sample mailing box, is I
available form the county I
extension office.
The Nematode Advisory I
Laboratory of the North I
Carolina Department of I
Agriculture charges sl. per I
sample. Processing time I
varies depending upon the I
work load in the lab. Far- I
mers can expect the I
laboratory to make general I
recommendation about I
whether chemicals, crop I
rotation and-or resistant I
varieties should be used I
once the lab work is com- I
pleterj.,.Specific- recom-J
mendations can be obtained I
from $$
found in extension BulletinsH
and the N. C. Agricultural I
Chemicals Handbook. ]
Farmers are finding that, I
once their nematode I
problems are diagnosed, an I
effective control program |
including such management |
techniques as the use of |
resistant varieties crop |
rotation, and chemical I
nematicides can be tailored |
to fit their cropping needs. I
The consistant use of I
soybean cyst nematode
resistant soybeans is
causing a “new” problem.
The nematode population is
shifting from the
predominant Race I and
Race II; however, other I
nematode “biotypes” that
can attack Race I and 111
resistant varieties are
becoming more common I
Growers need to avoid I
continuous cropping with I
resistant varieties, in order I
to prevent the buildup of I
another race. Instead, I
resistant varieties should be I
used sparingly, in com- I
bination with rotation and I
chemical control.
Samples not processed 1
through the local Extension |
office can be mailed to: |
Agronomic Division, |
Nematode Advisory Section, I

Cocker ham said Attorney
General Edmisten was
“derelict in his duties” by
claiming -that the
...redistricting [dans were
indefensible...and by not
giving “appropriate legal
counsel.”
A spokesman in the AG’s
office said they could only
give advice when asked or
when the state is brought to
court-the latter of which
occurred with a suit by the
NAACP over redistricting.
