Title |
Updated implementation advice for revised import conditions for apiaceous vegetable seeds for sowing |
Summary |
Further to notification G/SPS/N/AUS/436/Add.1, Australia advises the withdrawal of proposed regulation of a fungal pathogen associated with Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) seed for sowing.
The Final review of import conditions for apiaceous vegetable seeds for sowing (final report) assessed Cercospora foeniculi as a quarantine pest for Australia and seedborne in Foeniculum vulgare and proposed its regulation.
Further taxonomic review has identified that Cercospora foeniculi is a synonym of Fusoidiella anethi (the pathogen's preferred name), which is itself known by a synonym Mycosphaerella anethi that is present in Australia and not under official control.
Accordingly, Cercospora foeniculi (as Fusoidiella anethi and its synonyms) is not a quarantine pest for Australia and the proposed regulation for this pathogen in the final report will not be implemented.
The suspension of the fungicidal treatment requirement for Daucus carota (carrot) seed remains as previously detailed.
This addendum concerns: Withdrawal of proposed regulation
