JOINT MEDIA RELEASE
th March 2002 GM CROPS CAUSE MASSIVE, UNMANAGEABLE CONTAMINATION
Europe cannot ignore official warnings, say leading environmental groups
In its report, the EEA warned that: "oilseed rape can be described as a high risk crop for crop-to-crop gene flow and from crops to wild relatives … It is predicted that plants carrying multiple [herbicide] resistance genes will become common post-GM release … Oil seed rape is cross compatible with a number of wild relatives and thus the likelihood of gene flow to these species is high". The problem was already recognised by the French government, which banned cultivation of GM oilseed rape in 1998 [2]. Agrochemical companies are now actively marketing new chemicals designed to deal with herbicide-tolerant superweeds. Rather than GM crops reducing the use of harmful chemicals as the biotech industry claimed, herbicide applications for herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape in Canada are actually higher than for conventional oilseed rape. Between 1997-2000, there was an average of 2.13 herbicide applications per crop with GM Roundup Ready and Liberty Link crops, compared to 1.78 applications for conventional varieties. Similar contamination problems exist for beet, another plant that is indigenous to Europe and has a number of wild relatives. According to the EEA: "Sugar beet can be described as medium to high risk for gene flow crop to crop and from crop to wild relatives. Pollen from sugar beet has been recorded at distances of more than 1 Km at relatively high frequency … The possible implications of hybridisation and introgression [of transgenes] between crops and wild plant species are so far unclear because it is difficult to predict how the flow of genetically engineered genes will be expressed".

New NAS Report on Genetically Engineered Food Crops Calls for Reform of Status Quo, but Falls Short of Protecting Consumers A report to be released tomorrow by the National Academy of Sciences that was obtained by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group today calls for important improvements in the oversight of genetically engineered crops, including improvements in post-market surveillance, but fails to fully address consumer concerns about these controversial products. The NAS report Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods: Approaches to Assessing Unintended Health Effects acknowledges that "our ability to interpret the consequences to human health of changes in food composition is limited." It calls post-market surveillance an approach that "holds promise" while acknowledging that it "has not been used to evaluate any of the GE crops that are currently on the market." However, U.S. PIRG Food Safety Advocate Richard Caplan points out that the report falls short of offering such basic recommendations as improving the current voluntary oversight at the Food and Drug Administration to a mandatory system. "While NAS has offered some improvements, they fall far short of recommendations that would offer consumers assurance about the safety of genetically engineered food crops," said U.S. PIRG's Caplan. "That NAS is offering important suggestions to improve the system when these foods are already on our dinner tables gives us cause for concern."

Water Quality for Floriculture Crops
HYG-1249-96
Dr. Claudio C. Pasian The relationship between water quality and fertility is the Rube Goldberg machine of floriculture. The quality of the water that floriculture growers use to irrigate their crops significantly effects fertility, seed germination, plant growth, and plant susceptibility to pests and diseases. In many cases, water quality is the limiting factor in floral crop production. Water quality is a common problem. The information in this fact sheet deals strictly with pH and alkalinity-two important factors still not well understood by many growers.
pH = H and OH
The pH is a measure of the concentration of the hydrogen protons (H ) and hydroxide (OH ) in a solution. If hydrogen protons predominate, the solution is acidic. If hydroxides predominate, the solution is basic. pH is measured on a to 14 scale. A pH of 7 indicates neutrality. pH values below 7 indicate acidic conditions; pH values above 7 indicate basic conditions.
Alkalinity: The Power to Neutralize Acids
Water alkalinity is a measure of the capacity of the water to neutralize acids. If an acid is added to water, the pH of the water will decrease because the acid adds H

Black Root Rot of Greenhouse Floral Crops
HYG-3066-96
Stephen Nameth
Black root rot is a common and destructive fungal disease on greenhouse floral crops. The disease is widespread, having been reported on many different plants including poinsettia, geranium, fuchsia, pansy, vincas, petunia, etc. The fungus is soil-borne and is capable of living in soils as a saprophyte (without causing disease) and surviving in soil and dust for years via tiny, thick-walled spores called chlamydospores. Plants may be infected but not show symptoms until the plant undergoes some form of stress.
Symptoms
Causal Fungus and Disease Development
Black root rot is caused by the fungus, Thielaviopsis basicola. As mentioned earlier, the fungus is very common and widespread. It has a wide host range and affects many other hosts besides greenhouse floral crops. Thielaviopsis can spread between greenhouses or between crops within a greenhouse in many ways. Long distance spread between greenhouses occurs via the movement of infested (but not necessarily diseased) plant material. Many of our specialized plug producers control crop stresses so well that an infestation of their material goes undetected by all parties until the plants are stressed in shipment or transplanting. Infested plugs are not the only way your crop can get black root rot. Thielaviopsis also has the potential to enter a greenhouse via wind blown dust or in growing media. Once within a greenhouse, there are many situations that can result in the pathogen becoming a long term resident. Thielaviopsis has a broad host range, and its saprophytic nature may allow it to continue to grow, spread and survive on many plants in the greenhouse that may appear symptomless or nearly so.

by David Lindsay Nova Scotia needs greater integration of ruminant livestock production with row crop farming. That's the common thread linking two reports released this September by the non-profit research group GPI Atlantic. These new publications, "Soil Quality and Productivity," and "The Value of Agricultural Biodiversity," are the first two instalments in the 5-part "Resource Capacity and Use" component of GPI's "Agriculture Accounts." Jennifer Scott, the author of the reports, says she was surprised that the livestock issue kept coming up in her research on both topics. She recommends introducing more grazing animals in regions where row cropping is most intensive-both to increase the use of manure for boosting soil fertility and organic matter, and to create more local demand for soil-building forage crops that could be incorporated into rotations. That kind of diversified farm system makes it possible to take fuller advantage of the agricultural "services" provided by natural ecosystems, she says, because there tends to be higher populations of earthworms and other beneficial organisms where perennial sod crops are grown, and where manure is spread on the land. Scott identifies diversity both wild and domestic as a positive indicator of farm sustainability.

DEBATING AFRICA
Is an Uncaring Media Causing Africans to Starve?

By Alexander Schwabe
While the world was watching the devastating tsunami in South Asia, locusts were busy eating their way through African crops. Now, millions are facing starvation and the World Food Program is struggling to address the crisis. But a lack of media attention has meant that donations have been sparse.
REUTERS A mother carries her child into a feeding station in Niger earlier this month. Simon Pluess, spokesman for the World Food Program in Geneva, is a brutally honest man. "When a humanitarian crisis gets big play in the media," he says, "donations flow in. Otherwise, there is no reaction." And that is exactly the problem currently facing West Africa. In large parts of Niger, in Mali and in Burkina Faso, many have already died from hunger and a total of 3.6 million are threatened with starvation. But the region found itself ignored by the media. "It is extremely clear that the CNN effect was absent," he says.
Why? At the same time signs of a brewing humanitarian disaster in the Sahel region were noticed, the world's cameras focused unswervingly on the results of the massive tsunami calamity in South Asia. Public opinion was horrified by a disaster of biblical proportions just as another such disaster got underway in Africa. Millions of

Lime: Essential for Nursery Crops
by M. Ray Tucker and J. Kent Messick, Agronomists Lime provides many benefits for nursery crops. Although certain plants require an acid environment (low pH), they still need calcium and magnesium for optimum growth. Lime supplies these essential nutrients. The major role of lime is to neutralize soil acidity. However, since most potting media are organic with little or no mineral matter, a pH of 5.5 is adequate for container-grown crops. Native pine bark has a pH around 4.0 and requires lime to raise the pH to 5.5. For field-grown trees and shrubs, the target pH is 6.0.
Types of Lime
The two basic types of lime used for plant production purposes are calcitic and dolomitic. Calcitic lime is composed of calcium carbonate ( CaCO ) and contains little or no magnesium. Since most container-grown media (pine bark and sand) are low in magnesium, it may be necessary to apply a magnesium fertilizer when using calcitic lime. Dolomitic lime is composed of a mixture of calcium and magnesium carbonates ( CaMgCO ) and, by law, must contain a minimum of 6 percent magnesium. Most lime sold in North Carolina is dolomitic and exceeds the 6 percent minimum of magnesium. So, dolomitic lime should provide an adequate amount of magnesium for container-grown plants.

Lime
Potting media and the crop determine the amount of lime needed. In mineral soils, most plants grow well at a pH of 6.0. The rhododendron family, however, thrives at a pH of 5.0 to 5.5. Peat-lite and other organic media contain lower levels of toxic factors associated with soil acidity than mineral soils. Therefore, plants grown in organic media perform well at a lower pH. When you decide what you want the soil pH to be, you can calculate the rate of lime to apply according to the following formula, where Ac is the acidity value given on the soil test report: desired pH soil pH soil pH Ac lbs of lime per On the soil test report, a in the Mg column of the Recommendations section indicates that magnesium levels are low. When is present and the pH is low, apply dolomitic lime. However, if lime is not needed, add 7 ozs Epsom salts (0.7
