Proposed measures to manage Xylella fastidiosa on plants for planting |
| Summary |
The New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is proposing the following changes to the Importation of Nursery Stock import health standard:
• Addition of X. fastidiosa to the quarantine pest list of 27 new plant host species/genera;
• Removal of X. fastidiosa from the quarantine pest list of 10 plant genera;
• Amendment of current measures for the management of X. fastidiosa in sections 2.2.1.12 and 2.2.5 of the standard, for plant hosts imported from countries considered not to be free from X. fastidiosa by MPI (and for plants in vitro where the country of origin is different to the parent plants);
• Amendment to current measures for the management of X. fastidiosa in sections 2.2.1.12 and 2.2.5 of the standard, for plant hosts imported from countries considered to be free from X. fastidiosa by MPI (and for plants in vitro where the country of origin is the same as the parent plants, which is free from the bacterium).
Further details are provided in the Risk Management Proposal.
