Management Aids Nematode Control Nematodes arc microscopic eel like roundworms. Only a very few species of plant parasitic ncmauxles infest turlgrass plantings; most ne matodes are beneficial or benign. Plant-parasitic nematodes rarely kill the host plants on which they are feeding, however, the plant is so weakened from the feeding that oth er diseases, insects, or environmen tal conditions often kill the plant. Nematode damage in home lawns is often severe in the sandy soils of southeastern North Carolina. Symptoms of roundworm damage arc difficult to identify. Lawns in fected with high populations of ne matodes will have weak, thin turf. Nutrient deficiencies and dry wilt ing are prevalent on nematode in fested soil. Cirass roots will exhibit stunting, excessive branching, and death of new roots. However, these symptoms arc not sufficient evi dence to identify these creatures as the major cause of this problem. Some of the common turfgrass damaging nematodes include stunt, spiral, lance, stubby-root, and sting. Of this group, sting often causes the most severe damage. In areas with high sting nematode populations, growing high quality turfgrass is ex tremcly difficult. (iixxl management practices are THE /" x, PUNT / \ DOCTOR 1 ) C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist the best weapon for controlling ne matode imputations in residential lawns. Proper fertilization, adequate soil water and proper mowing height will greatly reduce the damage of plant parasitic nematodes.

This product can only be applied by an individual with a commercial ornamental and turf pesticide license. Ncmaticidcs can lie very toxic to humans, ani mals, and birds and therefore should be handled with extreme care, after following all label instructions. Dear Plant Doctor: 1 have en closed some leaves from our Bradford pear tree. It was planted in March 1990, and has been growing very well since then, even sprouting blossoms last spring. About 2 weeks ago I noticed the lirsi slit ting < >1 leaves and it has continued to spread slowly through die tree. What is the problem? Is there anything I can do to treat this condi tion? Answer: I cannot tell you exactly what the problem is without seeing the tree. 'Hie necrotic (dead) tissue in the center of the leaves you sent me indicate that the problem is somehow associated with the nxit or lower stent system, since I could find no sign of fungal or bacterial infection on the leaves. The tissue damage is symptomatic of fertilizer injury, drought scorch or graft in compatibility. I recently observed a dogwood tree exhibiting symptoms resem bling fertilizer injury (severe leaf scorch accompanied by leaf drop). Upon closer examination, die tree was found to be girdled at its base by a piece of nylon rope. Severely root-bound uecs will also exhibit similar symptoms. I'm sorry, but I am unable to di agnose your Bradford pear problem. Contact the Cooperative Extension Service in your area for additional help 011 this problem.

LIVINGSTON Hwy. 17 Little River, SC (803) 249-6188 Sand Dollar I think fish and other ocean creatures in the ocean need clean water. Some fish are dying because people throw dirty trash in the ocean. Seagulls also need clean healthy fish to eat. If you can, pick up trash in the water and on the beach. Animals need clean water just like people do. Don't make our ocean creatures suffer because of your trash. Hollie Bass THE KID'S PAGE WRITTEN BY STUDENTS OF UNION PRIMARY SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY Our Wonderful Undersea World You may not know it, but under the water there is a whole new world. There are fish everywhere, whales, sharks, jellyfish and TRASH. If we keep throwing our leftover trash in the ocean, there will be no ocean. There are lots of trash cans, but the ocean is not one. We have to stop polluting the ocean and save some room for the fish to swim. So don't throw your trash in the ocean. Katie Hart Did you know there is a museum called The Museum of Coastal Carolina at Ocean Isle Beach. It has a lot of interesting exhibits about the sea. Try to find the octopus in the reef room. This exhibit shows all the different sea life that lives around an ocean reef. Take a peek at the wave machine in the shell and shark teeth room. It shows winter and summer waves. It also has some really large shark jaws! I know you will like the Museum of Coastal Carolina. Come see it some day. " Will Milllgan My dad is a taxidermist. He mounts fish, mammals, and reptiles. One of his big projects is mounting for the museum at Ocean Isle Beach. Some of my favorites are the sea turtle and the manta ray. My dad does great work. Go to the museum and see it sometime.

Since then, we go to the beach whenever we can. We have been clamming, crabbing, and fishing. I even got to go floundering one night at 2:00 in the morning. The most fun I've had is when my dad pulls me behind the boat in a little rubber boat. I hold onto a ski rope and lean back. It's lots of fun! My brother. Adam, and I hold contests to see who can hold on the longest without flipping the little boat over. I can beat Adam. Matthew Edwards Coral What did one octopus say to the other octopus when they met?
