Get Milk! Less than 3 years ago, researchers in South America discovered a new alternative to controlling powdery mildew. Wagner Bettiol, a scientist from Brazil, found that weekly sprays of milk controlled powdery mildew in zucchini just as effectively as synthetic fungicides such as fenarimol or benomyl. Not only was milk found to be effective at controlling the disease, it also acted as a foliar fertilizer, boosting the plant's immune system. In his experiments with zucchini plants, Bettiol found that a weekly spray of milk at a concentration of at least 10% (1 part milk to 9 parts water) significantly reduced the severity of powdery mildew infection on the plants by 90%. While some gardeners may be tempted to increase the concentration of milk for more control, Bettiol found that once concentrations rose above 30%, an innocuous fungus began to grow on the plants. How does milk control powdery mildew?

Extractions: From Radio Free Europe. As Afghanistan's reconstruction efforts advance shakily, its opium economy remains robust, in defiance of a year-old government ban and the anti-trafficking efforts of neighbors. A 220-page report released yesterday by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime calls for a concerted effort by the international community to combat the roots of the problem. It says a poor rural population has become chained to this illicit economy which thrived in 20 years of civil war by a network of domestic warlords and international crime groups. They operate primarily in about five provinces in the south, north, and east of the country. The director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, told a news conference that the labor-intensive cultivation of opium poppies often relies on women and children. One way to disrupt the trade, he said, is to engage those laborers in other duties. "If you want to break the neck, if you want to break into the opium economy, you have to offer alternative economic means, including those who are absorbed, women and children, keeping the women in other activities and children in school," Costa said.

Extractions: By its decision 7/CP.2 (FCCC/CP/1996/15/Add.1), the Conference of the Parties, at its second session, requested the Convention secretariat to give high priority to the development and completion of a survey of the initial technology needs, as well as technology information needs, of Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention, with a view to providing a progress report to the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice at its fourth session. The COP also urged non-Annex I Parties to communicate initial information to the Convention secretariat not later than 1 December 1996 regarding technologies and know-how required to address climate change and its adverse effects that could be compiled by the secretariat into a detailed list of technology needs required by developing country Parties, taking into account that more elaborate technology needs would be included in their initial national communications. In regard to the latter request, the secretariat has received a submission from China. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, this submission is attached and reproduced in the languages in which it was received without formal editing. Any further submissions from Parties will be issued in an addendum to the present document.
Extractions: I spoke with Walt Stevenson, vegetable plant pathologist and Patty McManus, fruit crop pathologist about how this cancellation will affect Wisconsins fruit and vegetable growers. In Wisconsin vegetable production, benomyl is registered for use on carrots, celery, beans, and vine crops. It is used in snap bean production for Sclerotinia white mold and Botrytis gray mold control. Benomyl is also used on dry, lima, and wax beans. Alternative fungicides for beans include Topsin-M, Rovral, and Ronilan. Recently, a new microbial fungicide, Contans WG ( Coniothyrium minitans ) was labeled for the control of white mold on beans. This product has a broad range of crops for which its registered and is applied to soil and plant residue to reduce the amount of sclerotia that serve as inoculum for the disease. Crop rotations of at least 2 years between bean crops or other susceptible crops are also recommended to reduce disease pressure in beans.

Extractions: Livestock Editor T Direct marketed meat Sales of direct marketed meat in Minnesota have increased dramatically the past few years. In beef cattle, the increase has been from 22,000 head to 32,000 head per year. Given a traditional 40-pair cow-calf herd, this increase represents the equivalent of 250 beef operations. Consumer demand for organic foods continues to increase rapidly, both domestically and abroad. Producers and traditional food companies alike overlook the opportunities in this market at their own peril. Having said that, organic production requires far more attention to the entire needs of the food production, processing and consuming chain, and is not for everyone. The organic food chain is still short enough and small enough for well-organized producers to be credible and meaningful suppliers and owners of that chain. But that situation will not last forever.

Extractions: Abstract: This paper reports on two methods used for identifying alternative indicators of chronic and acute food insecurity. A need for alternative indicators exists since many of the "benchmark" or "gold standard" indicators (such as household income or dietary intake) are too cumbersome to be of practical use in food aid targeting. The ideal alternative indicator should be statistically reliable, yet straightforward to collect and analyze. The study uses data collected in four villages in the Indian... (Update)

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson finds that growth of population and attendant residential and commercial development and increasing demands upon natural resources have the potential of encroaching upon, despoiling, polluting or eliminating many of the wetlands, water bodies and watercourses of the village which, if preserved, constitute important physical, economic, social, historic, archaeological, aesthetic, recreational and ecological assets to present and future residents of the village and provide important beneficial functions, including natural flood and stormwater control, groundwater recharge, natural pollution treatment, erosion and sediment control, wildlife habitat creation, recreation and open space enhancement and educational opportunities.
