PM 3/95 (1) Inspection of places of production‐ Citrus plants for planting

Abstract

Specific scope: This Standard describes the procedure for inspection of places of production of citrus plants for planting and includes relevant sampling criteria and the main regulated pests. This Standard covers plants of Citrus L. and other genera of the plant family Rutaceae such as Fortunella Swingle and Poncirus Raf., and their hybrids for fruit production. It focuses on EPPO A1 and A2 pests which infest these plants. Inspections of places of production may provide useful information for export certification, internal country movement of material, contribute to general surveillance or support demonstration of pest freedom (place of production or area). Specific approval: This Standard was first approved in 2023-09. Authors and contributors are given in the Acknowledgements section.
