The IPM community in reducing environmental problems; ensuring a safe, healthy, has responded to new challenges by developing appropriate plentiful food supply; and promoting a sustainable agriculture. The technologies to meet the changing needs of IPM stakeholders. meeting was organized with poster sessions and workshops covering 22 topic areas that provided numerous opportunities for Organization of the Fourth National Integrated Pest Management participants to share ideas across disciplines, agencies, and Symposium was initiated at the annual meeting of the National affiliations. More than 600 people attended the Second National IPM Committee, ESCOP/ECOP Pest Management Strategies IPM Symposium. Based on written and oral comments, the Subcommittee held in Washington, DC, in September 2001. With symposium was a very useful, stimulating, and exciting experi- the 2000 goal for IPM adoption having passed, it was agreed that ence. it was again time for the IPM community, in its broadest sense, to come together to review IPM achievements and to discuss visions The Third National IPM Symposium shared two themes, “Putting for how IPM could meet research, extension, and stakeholder Customers First” and “Assessing IPM Program Impacts.” These needs. -

197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow. -

Nematodes are belongs to animal kingdom, they are triploblastic, unsegmented, bilateral symmetrical, pseudocoelomateandhaving well developed reproductive, nervous, excretoryand digestive system where as the circulatory and respiratory systems are absent but govern by the pseudocoelomic fluid. Plant Nematology: Nematology is a science deals with the study of morphology, taxonomy, classification, biology, symptomatology and management of {plant pathogenic} nematode (PPN). The word nematode is made up of two Greek words, Nema means thread like and eidos means form. The words Nematodes is derived from Greek words ‘Nema+oides’ meaning „Thread + form‟(thread like organism ) therefore, they also called threadworms. They are also known as roundworms because nematode body tubular is shape. The movement (serpentine) of nematodes like eel (marine fish), so also called them eelworm in U.K. and Nema in U.S.A. Roundworms by Zoologist Nematodes are a diverse group of organisms, which are found in many different environments. Approximately 50% of known nematode species are marine, 25% are free-living species found in soil or freshwater, 15% are parasites of animals, and 10% of known nematode species are parasites of plants (see figure at left). The study of nematodes has traditionally been viewed as three separate disciplines: (1) Helminthology dealing with the study of nematodes and other worms parasitic in vertebrates (mainly those of importance to human and veterinary medicine). -
Servicio Agrícola Y Ganadero Establece Criterios De Dirección Nacional Regionalización En Relación a Las Plagas Cuarentenarias Para El Territorio De Chile
Versión no publicada en el Diario Oficial SERVICIO AGRÍCOLA Y GANADERO ESTABLECE CRITERIOS DE DIRECCIÓN NACIONAL REGIONALIZACIÓN EN RELACIÓN A LAS PLAGAS CUARENTENARIAS PARA EL TERRITORIO DE CHILE SANTIAGO, 20 de octubre 2003 RESOLUCIÓN N° 3080 de 2003 Versión consolidada que incluye las modificaciones posteriores establecidas en las Resoluciones N°s 1162 de 2013; 3303 de 2013 y 337 de 2014; vigentes a la fecha (29/01/2014). HOY SE RESOLVIÓ LO QUE SIGUE: N°__3080__________________/ VISTOS: Lo dispuesto en la Ley N° 18.755 Orgánica del Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero de 1989, modificada por la Ley N° 19.283 de 1994;el Decreto Ley N° 3.557 de 1980, sobre Protección Agrícola; el Decreto Ley N° 16 del 5 de Enero de 1995, del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores; y CONSIDERANDO: 1. Que el Acuerdo de Marrakech que estableció la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC), y los Acuerdos Anexos, entre ellos, el “Acuerdo sobre la Aplicación de Medidas Sanitarias y Fitosanitarias” determinan la necesidad de reconocer las condiciones de regionalización derivadas de la presencia, distribución o ausencia de plagas. 2. Que Chile como miembro signatario del Acuerdo sobre la Aplicación de Medidas Sanitarias y Fitosanitarias deben asegurar que sus medidas fitosanitarias se adapten a las características fitosanitarias regionales de las zonas de origen y destino de los productos vegetales, ya se trate de todo el país o parte del país. 3. Que, para este propósito el Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero, mediante los correspondientes Análisis de Riesgo de Plagas, está facultado para establecer las Listas de Plagas Cuarentenarias que se consideran cumplen con tal condición y que las mismas constituirán parte de la reglamentación fitosanitaria que deberán cumplir los artículos reglamentados para su ingreso al país.
