The presence of Steinernema carpocapsae is reported for the first time in a Nordic country. Entomopathogenic nematodes were isolated from soil in apple orchards in Western Norway. Nematodes in the genus Steinernema were present in 11.9% of the samples including a population of S. carpocapsae. According to our knowledge the presence of S. carpocapsae is rare in northern Europe, and a report several years ago of this species from northern Sweden appears to have been S. feltiae not S. carpocapsae. This paper also presents an overview of entomopathogenic nematodes in the Nordic countries where the following species are reported: S. affine; S. bicornotum; S. carpocapsae; S. feltiae; S. intermedium; S. kraussei; S. silvaticum; `Steinernema sp. C1", `Steinernema sp. E"; Heterorhabditis downesii and H. megidis. The occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes in the Nordic countries is based on area-wide surveys for some of the countries.

A survey was conducted in Morogoro, Mbeya and Coast regions, using a structured questionnaire and field visits, to evaluate the diversity of banana grown, distribution systems of banana planting materials, agronomic and pest management practices and gender characteristics of banana production. A total of 108 households were interviewed in 11 villages. The interviewees consisted of 78.7% males and 21.3% females. Banana cultivars grown were diverse and use being different and more or less location specific. 24.3% of respondents grow cultivar Mtwike and 18.7% grow cultivars Mzuzu as their most important varieties, 16.7%, 9.8%, and 14.7% grow Mzuzu, Mtwike and Uganda, respectively, as their second most important varieties. In respect to variety characteristics, 22.9% preferred varieties with big bunches, 19% early maturing, 14.3% marketable, 10.5% long fingers and 9.5% with high resistance to pests. The main sources of banana planting materials for farmers are neighbours (60%) and Sokoine University of Agriculture (22.4%). About 17.3% obtain planting materials from their own fields, 19.6% use in-vitro materials and 80.4% use conventional materials. Few farmers (37.2%) received training on banana production with 22.7% trained at SUA. Farmers were not able to name pests attacking the crop. However, cultivars Mtwike, Kambani, Uganda and Matoke are considered to be more prone to pests. About 54.5% of the farmers use uprooting as a major pests control measure while 27.3% and 9.1% use chemicals and field sanitation measures, respectively. 51.1% apply organic fertilizers, 56.2% use bamboo as propping material. Gender role is very much pronounced in decision-making. For most activities, men featured as the decision makers. Land preparation is men"s activity (69.3%). Introduction of new cultivars that will be resistant to pests, training in cultural practices and establishment of centres for distribution of appropriate planting materials were considered to be important interventions required by farmers.

VIPS (Varsling Innen PlanteSkadegjørere) has been developed under a government-funded action for reducing risk connected to the use of pesticides. Inputs to the forecasting models are weather data from the Bioforsk Agrometeorological Service consisting of a network of 80 weather stations, weather forecasts from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and biological observations from the Norwegian Agricultural Extension Service. The service is open for the public, free of charge at www.vips-landbruk.no. At the moment VIPS includes forecasts for Stagonospora nodorum (glume blotch), Drechslera teres (net/spot blotch), Rhynchosporium secalis (scald), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oil seed rape, Phytophthora infestans (potato late blight), Mamestra brassicae (cabbage moth), Delia radicum (cabbage root fly), Psila rosae (carrot root fly), Venturia inequalis (apple scab), Cydia pomonella (apple moth) and Botrytis cinerea in strawberry. Models for additional pests/diseases are under development. During the growing season the occurrence of several pests and diseases are recorded through a message system. VIPS also includes a programme to assess the need for control of weeds in cereal fields (choice of herbicide(s) and calculation of doses). Current development aim at transferring the service from weatherstation-based to farm-based pest forecasts. Use of radar measurements of precipitation in combination with online interpolation of the other weather factors from nearest weather stations is expected to improve precision in the pest forecasts as well as farmers "ownership" to the information presented.

Increasing levels of Fusarium mycotoxins have been recorded in Norwegian cereals during the last few years. In 2004, unusual high levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) were recorded, in particular in oats (e.g. 25-30 000 ppb) and some alarming levels of T-2 and HT-2 were recorded in 2005, also in oats. Due to the lack of effective control measures, FHB and mycotoxin contamination poses a significant threat to the yield and quality of cereals. Today only a very limited number of check samples of grains used for food and fodder are tested for mycotoxin content. To reduce the risk of contaminated cereals entering the food and feed processing chain, a four-year project (2006-2009) has been started, with the aim to develop a strategy for identification and discarding of unsuitable grain lots. Because there will be impracticable to analyse every lot the basis for a three-step screening system will be established: 1 - Development of prediction models based on information about effects of agronomic/cultivation practice and climatic conditions, for selection of putative `high-risk" fields/lots; 2 " Selection of a suitable and rapid testing method with capacity to screen a large number of samples for relevant mycotoxins at low costs, for testing of `high-risk" lots; 3 " Chemical toxin analyses of grain lots found to be highly contaminated in step 2. Fusarium avenaceum , F. culmorum, F. poae and F. tricinctum have been the most frequently recorded Fusarium species on cereals in Norway for many years. However, more recently also F. graminearum has occurred more frequently and F. langsethia has been detected especially in oats. Investigations will be carried out to see if there has been a change in the composition of Fusarium species.

Friskt, sortsekte utgangsmateriale for formering av vegetativt formerte vekster er et viktig tiltak for å bekjempe virus og bakterier. Enkelte arter av sopp, nematoder og insekter kan også følge plantematerialet, og et friskt formeringsmateriale er en forutsetning for en vellykket bekjempelse. Prosessen for å framstille et slikt materiale kalles fremavl. Fremavl krever samspill mellom brukere, foredlere, FoU-miljøer, kontrollorganer og politiske myndigheter. Et slikt samspill er godt utviklet i Norge og gir sammen med et kjølig klima og god avstand mellom produksjonsenhetene gode muligheter for produksjon av friskt plantemateriale. Artiklen beskriver det norske fremavlssystemet og beskriver eksempler på vellykket bruk og markedsføring av fremavls-materiale av blomster og grøntanleggsplanter.

The occurrence of Fusarium (represented by Fusarium spp. and Microdochium nivale) has been recorded in barley, oats and spring wheat seeds in Norway since the 1970-ies as part of the seed quality assessment. Annually a large number of samples representing both certified and farm saved seed from all cereal growing areas, was tested (100 or 200 seeds from each sample) at the Seed Testing Laboratory using the freezing blotter, the Doyer filter paper, and/or the agar plate (PDA) methods. In total, almost 30 000 samples of barley, more than 16 000 samples of oats and more than 9 000 samples of spring wheat were tested. The Fusarium frequencies were recorded in each sample, a mean of all samples was calculated each year for each cereal species, and multiple regressions with weather data from the growing season and also the Fusarium incidences in seed the previous year, were carried out. 69 % of the variation of the incidence of Fusarium in barley seeds was explained by 1) precipitation in July, 2) the incidence of Fusarium the previous year (both significant positive effects), and 3) precipitation in June, 4) temperature in July (both significant negative effects). In oat seed, precipitation in July and incidence of Fusarium the previous year explained 59 % of the variation. In spring wheat, as for barley and oats, precipitation in July and the incidence of Fusarium the previous year contributed positively, whereas precipitation in May and temperature in August had a negative effect.These four factors contributed significantly by 58% to the variation of Fusarium in spring wheat seed. It is concluded that the incidence of Fusarium in seed the previous year and precipitation in July were the main factors affecting the incidence of Fusarium in cereal seeds in Norway.

En ny type blå limfeller med feromoner, Thriplineams, lover mer effektiv fangst av amerikansk blomstertrips i blomster- og grønnsakskulturer i veksthus. Fellene skal være spesielt godt egnet til tripsovervåking om vinteren, da tripsen er mindre aktiv enn om sommeren. Vi testet disse fellene i et gartneri med snittroser under høst- og vinterforhold.

Rovmidden Amblyseius swirskii er en nykomling på nyttedyrmarkedet i Europa, og anbefales bl.a. i agurk, tomat, paprika, krydderurter, jordbær og diverse prydplanter. Produsenten hevder at A. swirskii etablerer seg lett og oppformerer seg raskt, og at den effektivt bekjemper veksthusmellus, bomullsmellus, nelliktrips og amerikansk blomstertrips. Mattilsynet har nå godkjent Amblyseius swirskii for bruk i norske veksthus fram til 30.06.2012. Vi har prøvd rovmidden mot veksthusmellus og nelliktrips i veksthusagurk, og resultatene tyder på at den kan være et viktig bidrag til bekjempelsen av veksthusmellus og nelliktrips.
