Recommended regulated non‐quarantine pests (RNQPs), associated thresholds and risk management measures in the European and Mediterranean region

Abstract

Some pests may be present on plants for planting and cause an unacceptable economic impact on the intended use of these plants, even though they are already present in the area. By consequence, these pests may be regulated and then called ‘Regulated Non‐Quarantine Pests’ (RNQPs) according to international standards. RNQPs, often not identified as such, are commonly regulated either together with quarantine pests in plant health regulations, or within programmes for the certification of plants for planting through specific requirements for pests and diseases that come in addition to non‐phytosanitary requirements. In 2016, Union RNQPs have been introduced in the new EU plant health regulation which shall apply from December 2019. In this context, EPPO agreed to undertake a 2‐year project on RNQPs, the EU Quality Pest Project. After having developed a methodology, data were collected through a rapid bibliography of scientific literature, questionnaire responses, exchanges on practical experience within six sector expert working groups, as well as a consultation of EPPO member countries, in order to perform a rapid evaluation of the RNQP status of about 1400 pest‐host‐intended use combinations. The resulting list of pests fulfilling the RNQP definition is presented in this paper, as well as the main issues discussed on thresholds and risk management measures.

Розовая Гниль Картофеля Опасное Заболевание Для Южных Регионов России

“…Опасность Phytophthora erythroseptica для картофеля признается через придание патогену в 1992 году статуса рекомендуемого к регулированию вредного организма в качестве карантинного в COSAVE [1]. С 2018 года в ЕОКЗР этому патогену придан статус регулируемого некарантинного вредного организма (РНКВО) на семенном картофеле в рамках проекта ЕС и ЕОКЗР (контракт SANTE/2016/G1/ SI2.726941) [2,3].…”

“…С 2018 года в ЕОКЗР этому патогену придан статус регулируемого некарантинного вредного организма (РНКВО) на семенном картофеле в рамках проекта ЕС и ЕОКЗР (контракт SANTE/2016/G1/ SI2.726941) [2,3]. На текущий момент в ЕАЭС Phytophthora erythroseptica не имеет статуса карантинного или регулируемого некарантинного вредного организма, однако, по сведениям ЕОКЗР и CABI, патоген широко распространен в мире, особенно в странах с теплым климатом [1].…”

“…Особенно опасно для России присутствие этого патогена в европейских странах, из которых активно импортируется семенной картофель. По данным НОКЗР Нидерландов, розовая гниль была уже широко распространена в этой стране в 1993 году [1]. [6].…”

Sonochemical Synthesis of 2’-Hydroxy-Chalcone Derivatives with Potential Anti-Oomycete Activity

“…In recent years, worldwide per capita food consumption has increased while growth rates in global agricultural production and crop yields have declined [ 1 ]; this latter is largely due to phytosanitary problems like pests, fungi, bacteria, and, mainly in the post-harvest phase, diseases produced by oomycetes [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Of the diseases caused by oomycetes, root rot and fruit blight [ 5 ] are estimated to render up to 30% of the harvested vegetables and fruits inedible during postharvest handling [ 6 ].…”
