Surveys Outside of New York State<br />

Conduct detection surveys on host cropland in designated golden<br />

nematode suspect areas outside the State of New York. If golden<br />

nematode infestation is found, then continue to follow the procedures<br />

in this manual.<br />

Sample Collection Bag Transport<br />

The integrity of the samples must be maintained at all times.<br />

Sample Transport Vehicles<br />

Each vehicle in which sample bags will be transported must be<br />

properly disinfected prior to placing sample bags in the vehicle. See<br />

Transport<br />

Vehicle<br />

<strong>Program</strong> vehicles for transporting samples must remain on the road,<br />

highway, or thoroughfare that is near, but not on the infested field<br />

property.<br />

Seed potato soil samples are only placed in vehicles 1 that have never<br />

been in infested areas or carried samples from infested areas.<br />

If a program does not yet have a vehicle (van or truck) dedicated to<br />

seed potato soil sampling transport only, then another vehicle that<br />

has never been near an infested area may be used provided the<br />

interior and exterior has been completely disinfected with steam heat<br />

treatment.<br />

Loading Sample Collection Bags<br />

The survey crew will place the soil samples into the program vehicles.<br />

Transport vehicles must remain off the survey property, and on the<br />

highway, road, or thoroughfare.<br />

Load the sample bags into the transport vehicle (van or truck) as<br />

follows:<br />

1. Place each sample bag in the vehicle in consecutive order (by bag<br />

number), either starting with the first bag (marked 1) and ending<br />

with the last bag (marked END), or reverse starting with the last<br />

bag (END) and ending with the first bag (1).<br />

1 Currently, one truck in Avoca is dedicated for seed sample collection transportation.<br />
