But this little microscopic worm is developing into a major pest for people in S.C. who try to grow things—whether the grower is a farmer in the coastal areas where fields are getting wider, or a weekend gardener anywhere in the state. The nematodes come in several species, most of them bedding down underground and hitting in subterranean attacks that result in nutrient deficiencies and sickly -appearing plants. Two predominant ones are the root-knot and lance. The root- knot, says Fred Smith, associate Extension specialist in pathology, is more common throughout the state and can be a chief suspect when ornamentals or lawns de velop that sickly appearance de spite proper care and feeding. “In home gardens, flower beds, or lawns, this nematode can be a particular problem,” Smith says. “These are areas that are replanted year after year, and the nematode builds up in pop ulation.” The lance, or sting type “nema” is causing rising concern down- state where there is increasing mobility in agriculture. As me chanization is stepped up, farming operations are stretched over greater distances and there’s more inter-area shifting of equipment. This means the soil-borne nematodes are cling ing to the machinery and moving too, Smith says. During this year, in many new locations, farmers have come up with “sick” fields where checks on crop failure indicted the lance nematode as the culprit. “They’re big, as nematodes go, and capable of doing extreme damage,” Smith says. “As long as operators continue to care lessly shift equipment from one field and one area to another, they’re going to carry these ne matodes along. Their chances of infesting some pretty good soil are good.” What’s the solution? For the gardener, or the indi vidual dealing with the small plot of land where the root-knot spe cies is the problem, the best answer if fumigation. In the big-scale operation, crop rotation is advisable. “If equipment is used in areas known tobecontaminated—where there are irregular or skippy spots in the fields--the equipment should be swept carefully with a stiff broom to knock off all soil before it is moved to another field,” the pathologist advises. This year, he and other Clem- son personnel have worked with experiment station research re sults in setting up nematode con trol demonstrations in several fields. In Calhoun County, in a “plot highly infested with lance nema todes,” a demonstration was out lined utilizing subsoUing under the row. It permitted roots to reach below the zone of high nematode concentration. On a farm near Blackville in Barnwell County, where “the lance nematode had reduced soy bean growth to almost zero in former years,” they outlined a project to combat the infesta tion through subsoiling and fumi gation practices. These were tried separately and in a com bination. Results generally were favor able. E ither through subsoiling or fumigation, or both, the plants showed increased growth. “In some of the plots they ob tained outstanding results, Smith says. “In others they were not so good, but in general there was an increase of some degree in plant growth. * “We can’t say right now that subsoiling offers the answer, he adds, “but the findings were favorable and further studies are in progress.” Support Your United Fund CREDITOR’S NOTICE All persons having claims a- gainst the estate of Kathryne H.
