As we celebrate the #international plant health day this week, we would like to wish our Supervisor Prof.NemaChap a happy birthday.He has, over the years, been a key advocate for plant and soil health with a focus on Plant Parasitic Nematodes. HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY PROF!🎉 #IPHD

Raw milk extends lifespan (in nematodes)

Growing these organisms in media with extracts of raw milk or cheese extended their lifespan by as much as 50%.

These extracts prevented oxidative stress in human immune cells.

Now filled with #earthworms & beneficial soil microbes( #bacteria #fungi #actinomycetes , #protozoa #nematodes etc)
Improved aeration, increased water holding capacity & perfect soil structure. Plants feed microbes & microbes in turn feed & protect plants
Less input, bigger output

Do you enjoy gardening? Fun tip: there are benefits of having nematodes in your home garden! bit.ly/4bfkU6T

I had a great time presenting my poster at biology of genomes 2024 conference. #Nematodes are severely underrepresented and to tell the world how fascinating they are and how they go beyond the C. elegans realm was worthwhile. #bog24

First in-furrow, on-farm trial of 2024 to evaluate the efficacy of products to manage nematodes and seedlings diseases in peanuts in OK 🥜

Thanks Merlin Schantz’s family for allowing us to conduct this trial 🙏🏼

🧠💡 Interesting review exploring the anti-ageing effects of cannabinoids in C elegans (nematodes). #Cannabidiol may extend #healthspan and #lifespan by inducing autophagy and reducing oxidative stress.

#ISPMF24 The amazing Nicole Steinmetz speaking on using plant viruses for animal and human health 😁 Like using native CPMV TO KILL CANINE TUMOURS OR TMV-derived spherical nanoparticles to deliver ivermectin to kill soil nematodes! 😳

Nematodes come around eat spongebobs house

#ISPMF24 Ruud Wilbers from Wageningen. Vaccines to cattle nematodes!

Deep Yes, but i just spray the top soil after watering, to kill burrowing insect eggs, i also use nematodes, and there haven’t been any microbes yet introduced to my seedlings. Here is what Grok had to say about it,

Nematodes done ate my house!

Got the crowd looking like nematodes and yall are debating his legacy?! Come on.

144 soil cores for our 2024 nematode sampling, 32 more to go! It’s always satisfying to see the fridge fill up. 😮‍💨

Good morning Twitter
I had so many mad dreams last night, proper anxious!
It's raining hard here today and it doesn't look likely to let up so it's a good time to do some obligatory paperwork
I need to order some nematodes!
Have a cracking day 🤗

Applying some worms (nematodes) to my lawn, hoping none get into my brain! 🧠 🪱 😁
