Laminaria has been known in Asia, first as kunbu ("large cloth") and, more recently, as haidai ("sea ribbon"). Internationally, "kelp" is generally used. The main extracted products are alginate, iodine and mannitol, which are used in textile, printing, medical and food manufacturing industries. Laminaria in its whole is also used in a huge variety of products for human consumption. In Europe, the exploited species have been L. digitata, hyperborea and saccharina. Mostly harvested as source of saltworth and iodine, wild thallus have also been used as fertizers in agriculture. In 2005, Laminaria is still harvested as alginates sources in Norway (L. hyperborea : 153 906 t) and France (L. digitata : 74 778 t). No cultivation is actually in place. In the late 1920s, the commercial seaweed Laminaria japonica was introduced into China from Hokkaido (Japan). Although commercial production of kelp harvested from its natural habitat has been carried out in Japan for over a century, mariculture of this cold water species on a very large commercial scale has been realized in China in the 1950s. Since, the Chinese kelp production increased from about 60 000 t annually to over 4 millions tones in 2005, making China the world largest producer of Laminaria. The Chinese success of the kelp cultivation in Asia has mainly depended on the adoption of three important techniques: the floating raft method, low temperature cultivation of summer seedlings, and  application of nitrogen fertilizer in the open sea. The Chinese methods that have made Laminaria production successful are shortly described in this poster.

This Pest Risk Assessment (PRA) of the fire blight bacterium Erwinia amylovora was initiated by a review or revision of a policy by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Fire blight was detected in Norway for the first time in 1986. The focus of infection was in and around the city of Stavanger in Rogaland county on the south west coast of the country. Mainly Cotoneaster bullatus and C. salicifolius were attacked.  The disease was contained and finally eradicated from the area in 1992. However, in 2000 fire blight re-emerged, in the same county, on the island Karmøy, separated from the first outbreak by 25 km open sea. A new containment and eradication programme was started. Nevertheless the disease continued to spread to the north, mainly due to the movement of beehives contaminated with E. amylovora, from areas with diseased plants to areas free from fire blight with warm and humid weather conditions, favorable for the development of the disease. Fire blight has been detected in private gardens, around public buildings, in recreation grounds, along roads, and in rural areas in the coastal areas of the counties of Rogaland, Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane. It has not been detected in nurseries, in fruit-growing areas, or in other parts of the country. The main hosts are still C. bullatus and C. salicifolius and some other Cotoneaster spp. Occasionally diseased Sorbus aria, Pyrachanta and apple and pear have been detected. Recently a very limited outbreak on C. bullatus and C. salicifolius was detected in the city of Kristiansand in Vest-Agder county. The endangered area, where presence of fire blight will result in economically important loss is the commercial fruit growing areas of Norway. If E. amylovora is introduced into the main fruit growing districts, it is expected that the damage and losses to commercial fruit production and nurseries will be minor, under the current phytosanitary regime in Norway. Relaxation of the regulations in force for fighting fire blight in Norway will increase the expected damage and losses to commercial fruit production and nurseries to a moderate level. Importation of fruit trees and fruit tree propagation material from countries where fire blight is established is not expected to increase the risk of fire blight in Norway significantly, given that appropriate phytosanitary requirements and quarantine are followed.

Bioforsk er engasjert for å etterprøve flomanalyse foretatt av Multiconsult etter utbygging av ny E6 forbi Taraldrud, fordi det i et område ved gårdsveien stadig ble registrert oversvømmelser. Gjennomgangen viste at modellverktøyet var brukt korrekt, og alle endringer i avrenningsfaktor og nedbørfelt var tatt inn ved beregningene. Konklusjonen om at utvidelsen av E6 ikke ga signifikant økning av flommer i problemområdet kan støttes av Bioforsk. Alle avvik som ble funnet viste mindre økning enn det som var angitt i Multiconsults opprinnelige beregning, fordi deler av nedbørfeltet var ført ut av området via rensesystemer. Flommene må ut fra dette ha andre årsaker enn veiutbyggingen, som for eksempel feilplassert kulvert, nedsynking av veilegeme eller dårlig kanalvedlikehold og tette rister.

The effects of photoperiod (12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 h), day-temperature (12, 15, 18, 24 or 27"C) and night-temperature (6, 9 or 12 oC) and their interactions on flower and inflorescence emergence were investigated by exposing 4 week old runner planst of strawberry cvs. Korona and Elsanta during a period of 3 weeks. A daily photoperiod of 12 or 13 h resulted in the highest numbers of plants with emerged flowers. A photoperiod of 14 h or more strongly reduced this number, while no flowers emerged at a photoperiod of 16 h. Plants exposed to photoperiods of 12 or 13 h flowered earlier and had longer flower trusses. A day-temperature of 18 oC and a night temperature of 12 oC were optimal for plants to emerge flowers and resulted in shortest time to flowering. A night temperature of 6 oC strongly reduced the number of plants that emerged flowers, especially when combined with lower day-temperatures. Photoperiod and temperature had no effect on the number of inflorescences, all flowering plants produced on average one inflorescence. The number of flowers on the inflorescence increased with decreasing day temperature and when photoperiod was raised fra 12 to 15 h. In general, `Korona" was more sensitive to photoperiod and temperature than `Elsanta", and had a lower optimal day-temperature for flower emergence. Results of this experiment may be used to produce high quality plant material or to define optimal conditions when combining flower induction and fruit production.

A series of field trials combining cultivars with different levels of resistance to Phythophtora infestans and different haulm killing methods was conducted in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to assess the contamination potential of the haulm. In addition, the frequency of tubers with late blight was assessed after harvest and storage, combining effects of pretreatment infection, infection by the haulm at harvest and the development of the disease during storage. Haulm killing was performed by diquat (200, 400, 600 g a.i. ha-1), half cutting of the haulm in combination with diquat (100, 200, 300 g a.i. ha-1) or full cutting of the haulm. In those treatments where haulm killing was performed purely chemically the haulm remnants" contamination potential tended to increase at reduced doses. Full mechanical destruction gave as low a contamination potential as application of the full dose of chemical haulm killer. However, there were no consistent differences between the haulm killing treatments in the frequency of blighted tubers after harvest and storage. This indicates that the input of chemical haulm killers may be reduced. There was a large difference between years in tuber blight after harvest and storage, which confirms that climatic factors are of major importance for tuber infection. The large difference found between the cultivars in the frequency of tuber blight indicates that tuber resistance should be an important part of integrated late blight disease management.
