USA restrictions on the import of Phytophthora kernoviae host material
The United States Department of Agriculture has notified the EU that as from 1 April 2005 measures similar to those already in place for export of Phytophthora ramorum hosts, are now required for Phytophthora kernoviae host material.
Any nursery wishing to export host plants to the USA will now be required to have had an annual survey to determine that the nursery is free from P.kernoviae.
The following genera of propogative material (except seeds) will be regulated: Fagus sp., Gevuina sp., Liriodendron sp., Michelia sp., Magnolia sp., Pieris sp., Quercus sp., Rhododendron sp.
For further information about these export requirements please contact
your local Plant Health and Seeds Inspector (PHSI).
