PM 10/13: Disinfestation of production site against Bemisia tabaci

Specific scope

This standard describes a treatment programme aimed at eradication of Bemisia tabaci in those parts of the EPPO region where it is not established, or for eradication of new and invasive biotypes. It is recognized that not all treatments (active substances) will be available in EPPO countries and emergency procedures (special restrictions) may be required to permit implementation of such an intensive treatment programme. A risk assessment of this programme will need to be made by individual countries in order to assess a particular situation. The programme may be adapted according to the national availability of the active substances and resistance profile of the pest.
