I would like to keep the talk about nematology open. The farmer is so
far away from the action the best we can ever get is a label. We have to
get it from dealers who get it from the big chemical companys who get it
from the people that raise it who get it from the people doing the
research so what we get in way of information is very little. I think to
get to sustainable agriculture we have to know all we can about the target
and the predator. It would be nice if we could some how close the
gap. I was supprised I could not find much on the internet on
nematodes. Maybe 3 or 4 papers. I like the one about how earth worms
carry nematodes deep and how they ride the worms. That was good reading
wish more people could somehow post their reasearch in a way where we organic
farmers could glean the information we need to help give the world a safe
food supply.
