Dear Friends, A fellow PBS member passed this article on to me and I thought I'd share it. Scientists tackle threat to New York's growing garlic industry <http://news.cornell.edu/stories/Nov11/…>http://news.cornell.edu/stories/Nov11/… Although we usually discuss ornamental bulbs, this new threat to the world of commercial bulbs may certainly link up to Alliums in a wider sense. Any discussions? Any experience with these harmful nematodes? Best Jim Thanks Gary -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
