The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources initiated this review in response to confirmation that 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' can be seed-borne and transmitted in apiaceous crops. The review has identified seed-borne pathogens of several apiaceous crops, meeting the International Plant Protection Convention criteria for a quarantine pest. The identified quarantine pests, in addition to 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' include Cercospora foeniculi, Cercospora malkoffii, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. coriandrii, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini, Phoma complanata, Phomopsis diachenii, Ramularia coriandri, Ramularia foeniculiand Strawberry latent ringspot virus.
This review evaluates the effectiveness of existing risk management measures for identified biosecurity risks and proposes additional mandatory phytosanitary measures to reduce the risk of introduction of the identified quarantine pests for Australia. Standard requirements for the importation of seed for sowing apply to apiaceous seeds from all sources. The department proposes additional phytosanitary measures for Apium graveolens, Anthriscus cerefolium, Carum carvi, Coriandrum sativum, Cuminum cyminum, Daucus carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Pastinaca sativa, Petroselinum crispum and Pimpinella anisum.
The proposed additional phytosanitary measures include:
- mandatory testing or treatment (off-shore or on-shore) for Anthriscus cerefolium, Apium graveolens, Carum carvi, Coriandrum sativum, Cuminum cyminum, Daucus carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Pastinaca sativa, Petroselinum crispum and Pimpinella anisum seed as specified in this review;
- a requirement that seed lots tested or treated off-shore be accompanied by an official government Phytosanitary Certificate endorsed with the additional declaration that the consignment has undergone mandatory treatment or testing in accordance with Australian import conditions.
