C., Tuesday, June 22, 1954 Plants Damaged By Nematodes Are Wanted Now Dr. Joseph N. Sasser, Nickels for Know-How nematologist at State College, is in the market for nematodes, or rather nematode damaged plants. They shouldn’ the hard to find, since nematodes dine on about every crop known to North Caro lina, but nematode damage is pret ty difficult to identify outside the laboratory. Tobacco is probably the hardest hit by nematodes the tiny worm-like animals destroy S3O million worth a year in North Car olina. Right now, tobacco has reached the size where you can begin to see evidence of nema tode damage. Wilts and Yellows Usually stunted, it wilts and yel lows in the afternoon; however, there are other factors that cause the same conditions. If you think nematodes might be damaging your crop, send a sample plant to Sasser, and include roots and in formation about the specimen and the conditions under which it was grown. The newest nematode to appear on the North Carolina scene is the alfalfa stem nematode, a serious threat to one of the state’s most valuable forage crops. If your al falfa plants are yellowing and stunted and have stems on growing shoots that are malformed, Sasser would like to have a deseased specimen. Samples of nematode damaged plants are helping Sasser identify and discover the extent of the problem in the state. The disease on your plants will be identified and control recom mendations returned to you promptly. Send specimens to Plant Disease Clinic, Box 5397, State College, Raleigh, N. C.
