ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We are proposing to amend the regulations to allow the importation of fresh mango fruit from Vietnam into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, fresh mango fruit from Vietnam would be subject to a systems approach that would include orchard requirements, irradiation treatment, and port of entry inspection. The fruit would also be required to be imported in commercial consignments and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of Vietnam with an additional declaration stating that the consignment was inspected and found free of Macrophoma mangiferae and Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae. This action would allow for the importation of fresh mango fruit from Vietnam while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of plant pests into the continental United States.

  • Impact of Ecological Factors on the Infestation of Mango Red Banded
    Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies 2014; 2 (4): 68-71 ISSN 2320-7078 Impact of ecological factors on the infestation of JEZS 2014; 2 (4): 68-71 © 2014 JEZS mango red banded caterpillar Received: 02-06-2014 Accepted: 02-07-2014 Mainak Bhattacharyya Mainak Bhattacharyya Former Researcher, Bidhan Chandra Krishi ABSTRACT Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, The study on the incidence pattern of mango red banded caterpillar (Autocharis albizonalis Hampson) was Nadia, West Bengal. carried out along with the different aspects of infestation and their varietal preference. The study concluded that the fruit borer infestation occurred from the pea to marble sized stage of the fruit and continued to maturity stage. The first pest brood was seen in the 1st fortnight of March and continued to June. Fifteen commercially grown mango cultivars were selected and cultivated under RBD. The Duncan Multiple Range test was subsequently performed to identify the differential level of varietal preference towards the pest. Himsagar, Arka Anmol, Prabha Sankhar and Amrapali were the most susceptible varieties and Neeluddin the least. The maximum pest attack was found from the West direction. Keywords: Cultivars, Fifteen, Himsagar, Neeluddin, Pest, West. 1. Introduction Mango is known as the king of the fruits. It is known from the literature that the Vedas and Ramayana showed mango as a well-known fruit during the Vedic and Aryan ages. The world’s first recorded presence of the existence of mango is seen in the text by Ludovico di Varthema in Italian Language (1510) as Manga. Later this text was further translated in post-classical Latin and French language.

  • Crambidae Biosecurity Occurrence Background Subfamilies Short Description Diagnosis
    Diaphania nitidalis Chilo infuscatellus Crambidae Webworms, Grass Moths, Shoot Borers Biosecurity BIOSECURITY ALERT This Family is of Biosecurity Concern Occurrence This family occurs in Australia. Background The Crambidae is a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of moths that currently comprises 11,500 species globally, with at least half that number again undescribed. The Crambidae and the Pyralidae constitute the superfamily Pyraloidea. Crambid larvae are concealed feeders with a great diversity in feeding habits, shelter building and hosts, such as: leaf rollers, shoot borers, grass borers, leaf webbers, moss feeders, root feeders that shelter in soil tunnels, and solely aquatic life habits. Many species are economically important pests in crops and stored food products. Subfamilies Until recently, the Crambidae was treated as a subfamily under the Pyralidae (snout moths or grass moths). Now they form the superfamily Pyraloidea with the Pyralidae. The Crambidae currently consists of the following 14 subfamilies: Acentropinae Crambinae Cybalomiinae Glaphyriinae Heliothelinae Lathrotelinae Linostinae Midilinae Musotiminae Odontiinae Pyraustinae Schoenobiinae Scopariinae Spilomelinae Short Description Crambid caterpillars are generally cylindrical, with a semiprognathous head and only primary setae (Fig 1). They are often plainly coloured (Fig. 16, Fig. 19), but can be patterned with longitudinal stripes and pinacula that may give them a spotted appearance (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 14, Fig. 22). Prolegs may be reduced in borers (Fig. 16). More detailed descriptions are provided below. This factsheet presents, firstly, diagnostic features for the Pyraloidea (Pyralidae and Crambidae) and then the Crambidae. Information and diagnostic features are then provided for crambids listed as priority biosecurity threats for northern Australia.

    United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine Risk Management Document Importation of Fresh Mango Fruit, Mangifera indica L., from Vietnam into the Continental United States August 8, 2015 Plant Health Programs (PHP) Imports, Regulations, and Manuals (IRM) Contact Person: Juan Roman 1 Introduction: Entry of mangoes from Vietnam into the continental United States is not currently authorized. The importation of fruits and vegetables for consumption into the United States is regulated under Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 319.56 (7 CFR §319.56). A request was made by the government of Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (PQDC, 2010) to change the Federal Regulation to allow entry of mangoes. To evaluate the risks associated with the importation of commercially produced fresh fruit of mango (Mangifera indica L.) for consumption from Vietnam into the continental United States a pest risk assessment was completed (USDA, 2012). The pest risk analysis (PRA) of mangoes from Vietnam determined the following pests as following the pathway and could be of concern before mitigations are enforced. The arthropod pests are: Bactrocera carambolae Drew &Hancock (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi) (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Bactrocera tau Walker (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (DIPTERA: Tephritidae) Conogethes punctiferalis
