Release of the draft report for the pest risk analysis for bacterial pathogens in the genus Xylella
Effective from 16 December 2022This BICON alert is to notify stakeholders of the release of the Draft report for the pest risk analysis for bacterial pathogens in the genus Xylella.
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry initiated this pest risk analysis to assess the biosecurity risks of all Xylella species, and to determine whether the emergency measures manage the biosecurity risks associated with the trade in commercially produced plants for planting and seeds for sowing.
The draft report proposes risk management measures, combined with operational systems, and/or a period of post-entry quarantine in Australia prior to release, to ensure biosecurity standards are met.
The draft report is being issued for a public consultation period, closing on 1 March 2023.
Stakeholders are invited to have their say on the draft report. The department will consider all stakeholder comments received during the consultation period in preparing a final report.
Who does this alert affect?
Importers of plants for planting (nursery stock) and seed for sowing which are currently regulated as hosts of Xylella.
