Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III HISTORY OF STRAWBERRY PACKAGES, METHODS OF TRAINING, AND POLLINATION The packages used for shipping strawberries to market have changed with the generations to meet new conditions as they have arisen. The evolution of the modern, cheap, gift package from the clumsy and expensive return package of earlier days has reflected the rapid development of the industry. Early Packages At the beginning of commercial strawberry culture in North America, about 1820, it was natural that the packages should be those approved by English gardeners. In 1821 Massachusetts strawberry growers were advised to carry berries to the Boston markets in pottles, that is, in inverted cones of basket work. The pottle used in England and Scotland at that time contained nominally, one Scotch pint. These are packed one above another in square hampers and are conveyed to the market on a light carriage or frame work hung on springs. Near London it is customary to pack fifty or sixty of these pottle baskets in a large basket, which is then 1 Memoirs Mass. Agr. Soc., VI (1821). placed upon a woman's head, on a small cushion. She trudges miles with it to market.1 Another type of splint basket, called a punnet, was used in the strawberry trade of New York City between 1815 and 1850. The English punnet used in America was a shallow basket of woven wickerwork without handles (Fig. 5). A handled punnet was more popular in the New York market. C. W. Idell relates:2 The first strawberries marketed in New York were wild ones from Bergen County, N. J. The negroes were the first to pick this fruit for the New York market and invented those quaint old-fashioned splint baskets with handles. The baskets were strung on poles and thus peddled through the city. Originally the punnets were...

Plant-parasitic nematodes are recognized as one of the greatest threats to crop production throughout the world. Estimated annual crop losses of $8 billion in the United States and $78 billion worldwide are attributed to plant parasitic nematodes. Plant parasitic nematodes not only cause damage individually but form disease-complexes with other microorganisms thereby increasing crop loss. Nematode diseases of crops are difficult to control because of their insidious nature and lack of specific diagnostic symptoms which closely resemble those caused by other plant pathogens and abiotic diseases. Future developments of sustainable management systems for preventing major economical agricultural losses due to nematodes is focused on strategies that limit production costs, enhance crop yields, and protect the environment. This book presents a first compendium and overview for nematode problems and their management across North America. Each chapter provides essential information on the occurrence and distribution of plant parasitic nematodes, their major crop hosts, impact on crop production and sustainable management strategies for each region of the continent including, Canada, Mexico and all states of the USA. For each region, a thematic overview of changes in crop production affected by plant parasitic nematodes and their management strategies over time will provide invaluable information on the important role of plant parasitic nematodes in sustainable agriculture.
