This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on
nematode pests in agriculture. The first chapter assesses the value
and impact of using integrated pest management (IPM) to combat
nematode pests. It summarises the basic biology and morphology of
the most economically-important nematode pests and reviews
cultural, biological and chemical methods of control. The second
chapter discusses advances in understanding plant root response to
nematode attack. It highlights how nematodes form feeding
structures in host roots and how this behaviour has allowed plants
to evolve new mechanisms of resistance that target this structure
with a toxic response. The third chapter discusses key nematode
pests of wheat, including cereal cyst, root-knot and root-lesion
nematodes. It features research on best practice in detecting and
managing these pests effectively. The fourth chapter summarises
what we know about soil and plant nematodes damaging maize,
including lesion, root-knot and vermiform nematodes. It reviews
research on characteristics, identification and effects which
provide the foundation for effective control. The final chapter
describes the characteristics and control of key nematode pests of
potatoes: potato cyst nematodes, root knot nematodes, root lesion
nematode, potato rot and stem nematodes as well as virus vector
nematodes.

kinds of places - spiritual thinkers, modern science and research -

English professor Brian Daly is finally able to live openly with
the love of his life, local weatherman Jay Tanner. Jay has ended
his sham marriage and come out of the closet, and he and Brian now
share a condo in the city.
But there's trouble in paradise. Brian's best friend Olivia can't
seem to get along with Jay. The two bicker whenever they're
together. In addition to trying to broker peace between his
friends, Brian is busy fending off Sean, an infatuated student who
wants Brian to be his first lover. When Brian spurns his advances,
he threatens to accuse the professor of sexual harassment if the
two don't sleep together.
Just when things seem like they can't get any worse, Brian
discovers Jay has been cheating on him with a woman. And not just
any woman -- Olivia, who is now pregnant with Jay's child.
Brian's world crumbles as his relationship with Jay falls apart
and his friendship with Olivia is destroyed. While he works to try
and put his life back together, Brian is relentlessly pursued by
Sean. But this time Brian doesn't turn him away, and the two begin
a relationship that helps Brian get over some of the heartache he's
suffered.
After a while, Brian also reunites with Olivia, and becomes a kind
of surrogate father to her newborn daughter. The baby helps him
hold onto Jay in some small way. Even though he and Jay are no
longer a couple, Brian still longs for his former partner.
But when Jay reappears in Brian's life, Brian discovers he isn't
quite ready to forgive and forget. While he still loves Jay, will
he ever be able to trust the man again?
