A survey was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of plant parasitic nematodes in the municipality of Lier located in southern Norway. A wide variety of vegetables crops are grown in this area. Soils in Lier are mostly sandy loam, and irrigation is practiced when necessary during the growing season. There is little information on the occurrence on plant parasitic nematodes in vegetables; particularly in areas where farmers have specialized in intensive production, and often grow two to three cultures of vegetables during the growing season. In the year prior to this investigation several crops had been observed with symptoms of attack by plant parasitic nematodes. The aim of this survey was to identify the species responsible for the damage. The emphasis was placed on genera of known economic importance. During the end of the growing season plants showing poor growth or symptoms of nematode damage and plants with healthy appearance were sampled. A total of 74 root samples were collected and assessed for galls and 37 soil samples were collected from the rhizospheres. In the study samples were collected from 7 producers. Five samples were taken from cauliflower (Brassica oleraceae var. botrytis), 4 from broccoli (Brassica oleraceae var. italica), 8 from pak-choy Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis), 8 from lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and 1 from celery (Apium graveolens). Soil sampling included 11 samples from areas with fallow, ploughed and rotocultivated land. Root knot nematodes were not recorded in the root samples. In soil samples economically important nematode genera were recorded. Tylenchorhynchus sp. (72.9 % of samples), was the most frequently encountered genus, followed by the species Heterodera cruciferae and other Heterodera spp. (67.5 %), Pratylenchus spp. (54 %), Paratylenchus spp. (29,7 %), and Helicotylenchus spp. (8.1 %). In addition to cyst detections Heterodera juveniles were found in 32.4 % of samples. In all the samples from Pak-choy Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) Heterodera cruciferae was recorded, symptoms of nematode damage was also observed in the field. The results of the survey will help in planning future research as well as in developing effective nematode management strategies suitable for vegetable producer particularly in this area. The authors are thankful to the FMLA in Buskerud County for economical support.

The present cross-sectional study was performed to analyze potential risk factors for upper extremity disorders in two groups of forest machine operators driving harvesting vehicles and performing equal tasks in France (n=18) and Norway (n=19). This comparative design implied similar work tasks, but potentially different external work demands. Previous studies have suggested higher levels of neck and shoulder complaints among Norwegian operators compared to those of the French. This may be related to different external work demands and/or individual motor performance. Surface electromyography (EMG) of the right upper trapezius (RUT) and extensor digitorum (RED) muscles were measured continuously during 1 working day (7.5–8 h per operator) and video of body postures was recorded inside the cabin (1 h per operator). A questionnaire on external work demand factors and psychosocial stressors was used together with the collection of symptom data. A physical examination was performed on all workers. Borg's CR-10 scale of intensity of discomfort/pain was rated four times throughout the test day. The French operators reported less complaint (p<0.01) in the right neck compared to their Norwegian colleagues. Furthermore, the French had on average two to three times longer lunch breaks during 5 work days, less continuous hand intensive use of the control lever with more frequent short breaks during the test day compared to the Norwegian operators. However, the average static load level on the RUT muscle for the whole working day was significantly higher among the French (0.7% EMGmax) in comparison with the Norwegian operators (0.3% EMGmax). No difference was found in number of periods with sustained low-level muscle activity neither in the RUT nor the RED muscle. In conclusion, our results support that the higher prevalence of discomfort/pain among the Norwegian forest machine operators may be related to organizational factors.

The area of wood protection is in a period of change. New wood protection systems have been developed while their mode of action remains insufficiently understood. The development of molecular methods provides potential tools to investigate the interaction between modified wood and decay fungi. One small step to tackle some of the unsolved questions about the mode of action of modified wood is taken in this study. A specific and quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) assay was now established for identifying and quantifying early stages of fungal colonisation in modified wood and for profiling growth dynamics of the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor through different stages of decay. QRT-PCR of colonisation of three different wood modification systems (acetylation, furfurylation, thermal modification), two reference treatments (Cu-HDO, CCA) and Scots pine sapwood as control was performed. Incubation time was 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks...

Teger er viktige skadedyr i både integrert og økologisk fruktdyrking. I ei undersøking i 2006 vart parasitteringsgrav av teger undersøkt i 18 fruktfelt i Noreg. Resultata viste at i snitt 30 % av dei vanlegaste artane var parasittert.

Potet er verdens tredje viktigste matplante. Bare hvete og ris dyrkes i større mengder enn potet, men ingen matplante dyrkes i flere land enn poteten. Poteten har et stort uutnyttet potensiale og gir muligheter til å skaffe verdens økende befolkning nok mat og sunn mat i årene som kommer. FN og FAO (Verdensorganisasjonen for mat og landbruk) har proklamert 2008 som Det internasjonale potetåret. The International Year of the Potato (IYP) vil bli markert verden over, og formålet er å fokusere på potetens betydning for ernæring og verdens matvareforsyning.

Foredraget handlet om hvilke problemr vi står overfor når det gjelder det å produsere nok mat. Hvordan skjer vanning, hvilke forskjellige metoder som finnes, hva er vannbehovet, hvilke forbedringer innenfor vanningssystemer, hvilke problemer når knappe vannressurser, vannforurensning, hvordan å fordele vannet innefor landesgrenser men også mellom land

The presentation addressed the critical energy issues affecting the world today, with special reference to sub-Saharan Africa. The impacts of fossil energy consumption on climate change, the search for alternative sources of energy, and how this affects food security in Africa south of the Sahara were addressed. The lecture concluded with policies which African governments should adopt to escape the negative impacts of biofuel production.

Tidligere studier har vist at små konstruerte fangdammer er mer effektive som sedimentasjonsbasseng for erosjonsmateriale enn hva som forventes ut fra beregninger basert på sedimentasjonstid. Det har blitt antatt at det skyldes at sedimenteringen skjer i form av aggregater. Denne mikroskopstudien av tynnslip laget av uforstyrra prøver av fangdamsedimenter bekrefter at fin silt og leir gjenfinnes i aggregater. Aggregatene fra fangdamssedimentene hadde samme mineralogiske sammensetning som matjord fra tilstøtende landbruksareal, men de var mer avrundet, noe som tyder på nedsliping gjennom transport. For å hindre nedbryting av aggregater bør fangdammer bygges nærmest mulig der erosjonen finner sted. For å kunne gi en riktig vurdering av fangdammers effektivitet, må tilstedeværelsen av aggregater tas i betraktning. Kornfordelingsanalyser hvor dispergering av leirfraksjonen er en del av prepareringaprosedyren, er ikke egnet til å gi data for beregning av hvor mye fin silt og leir som tilbakeholdes i fangdammer.
