Plant Quarantine Import Regulations Thailand Plant Quarantine Import Regulations Thailand Plant Quarantine Act Presently, the Plant Quarantine Act B.E. 2507 (1952) amended by the Plant Quarantine Act (No. 2) B.E. 2542 (1999) is being enforced. The Act contains 27 Sections. In order to prevent the invasion of plant pests and diseases from outside the country, a number of regulations, notifications and orders are applied to imported plants and plant products under the Plant Quarantine Act. Administrative Body of the Act The Plant Quarantine Act B.E. 2507 (1952) amended by the Plant Quarantine Act (No. 2) B.E. 2542 (1999) is administered by the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. The Department of Agriculture has assigned the Plant Quarantine Sub-Division, Agricultural Regulatory Division to carry out various functions authorized by the Act. Plant Quarantine Import Requirements Under the Act, the import of plants and plant products is categorized into 3 groups namely prohibited, restricted and unprohibited materials according to their economic importance and prevalence to plant pests and diseases at their place of origin. Following are import requirements of prohibited, restricted and unprohibited materials. • Prohibited materials : The import of the following items listed in Table 1 is not allowed. Exceptions are permitted only for cases approved in advance by the Department of Agriculture for the purpose of experimentation or research only. (1) Plants and plant products designated by the Ministerial Notification, shipped from the areas specify by the Ministerial Notification. (2) Plants, plants pests and diseases and carriers (3) Soil and organic fertilizer The requirement for importation of prohibited materials is set as follows: (1) They must be imported via 3 plant quarantine stations namely; Bangkok International Airport, Bangkok Maritime Port and Bangkok General Post Office Plant Quarantine Station. (2) They must bear phytosanitary certificate issued by the proper government agency of the exporting country. (3) Phytosanitary certificate should be declared that the consignment is free from plant quarantine pests and diseases according to conditions prescribed the Director-General of the Department of Agriculture. 2 • Restricted materials The import of the following items listed in Table 2 is allowed. The requirement for importation of restricted materials is set as follows: (1) They must bear phytosanitary certificate issued by the proper government agency of the exporting country. (2) The must be handled according to conditions prescribed by plant quarantine officer. (3) Furthermore, importation of restricted materials, particularly, plants intended for propagation must be subjected to thoroughly examination. • Unprohibited materials Plant materials other than those classified as prohibited and restricted materials are unprohibited materials. Permission and a Phytosanitary Certificate are not required for importation. However, the imported unprohibited materials have to be notified for inspection at ports of entry. All materials are subjected to inspection and also put under quarantine treatment or destruction if plant quarantine pests and diseases are found. ----------------------------- 3 Table 1.

To study the effects of citrus viroids inoculation on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of ‘Marsh Seedless’ grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) grafted on trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], an experiment was set up in January 1991, in Bebedouro, São Paulo State, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks with four treatments with two plants per plot: viroid isolates Citrus Exocortis Viroid (CEVd) + Hop stunt viroid (HSVd - CVd-II, a non cachexia variant) + Citrus III viroid (CVd-III) and Hop stunt viroid (HSVd - CVd-II, a non cachexia variant) + Citrus III viroid (CVd-III) and controls: two healthy buds (control), and no grafting (absolute control). Inoculation was done in the field, six months after planting by bud grafting. Both isolates reduced tree growth (trunk diameter, plant height, canopy diameter and volume). Trees not inoculated yielded better (average of eleven harvests) than inoculated ones but the productivity was the same after 150 months.

  • Relationship of Citrus Yield and Virus Infection in Trinidad
    Journal of Applied Horticulture, 6(2):112-115, July-December, 2004 Relationship of citrus yield and virus infection in Trinidad L. Andrewsa, R. Phelpsb and R.A.I. Brathwaitec aCaroni Research Station, Waterloo Road, Carapichaima, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, E-mail: [email protected]; b138 Bregon Park, D’Abadie, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, E-mail: [email protected]; cFaculty of Science and Agriculture, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Low yield is a serious problem of citrus in Trinidad but it is not known to what extent virus/viroid diseases contribute to yield reduction. This study is an attempt to quantify both the extent of infection of major virus/viroid diseases known to exist in citrus locally and the relationship of infection level with yield. The virus and virus-like diseases assessed in surveys were citrus tristeza virus (CTV), citrus exocortis viroid (CEV) and psorosis. The study began in 1996 and was conducted on Valencia orange, Ortanique tangor and Portugal mandarin established on sour orange rootstock. Techniques used in the survey included visual assessment of symptoms and both biological and serological indexing. In 1997, Ortanique had the highest level of CTV infection of 48.8% of trees, while in the other cultivars <10% tested positive. There were significantly fewer high yielding Ortanique CTV positive trees compared to CTV negative trees (P = 0.042). Fruit count of CTV positive trees was significantly lower than CTV negative trees in Valencia 2000 (P = 0.004) and Ortanique for a cumulative period of 1998 – 2000 (P = 0.001).

The ‘CNPMF–2001’, ‘CNPMF–01’, ‘CNPMF–02’, ‘IAC–5’, and ‘Bearss’ selections had 5-11 % shorter trees than the other cultivars. ‘CNPMF–01’, ‘CNPMF–02’, ‘Persian–58’, and ‘5059’ presented higher yield efficiency values, between 3.1-3.4 kg m−3, and higher yield levels during the off-season harvest periods.

  • THERAPY and VARIETY IMPROVEMENT the Citrus Variety
    THERAPY AND VARIETY IMPROVEMENT The Citrus Variety Improvement Program in Spain after Eleven Years L. Navarro, J. Juarez, J. A. Pina, J. F. Ballester and J. M. Arregui ABSTRACT. The Citrus Variety Improvement Program in Spain (CVIPS) started in 1975 with the following objectives: a) to recover virus-free plants by shoot-tip grafting in vitro from cultivars selected in Spain; b) to release virus-free budwood to citrus nurseries and c) to establish a germplasm bank of healthy plants. In 1983 these objectives were expanded with the importation of citrus bud- wood from other areas through a quarantine station based on tissue culture in vitro techniques. Sixty- three species and varieties have been introduced through this quarantine station so far. Presently the CVIPS has 267 accessions and 112 have been freed of virus and virus-like diseases and are available to citrus nurseries. So far, over 12 million healthy trees from the CVIPS have been planted in commercial orchards. Index words. shoot-tip grafting in vitro, quarantine, viruses, indexing.

  • Lack of Cross-Protection Between Citrus Exocortis Vir- Oid and Citrus Viroids Associated with Mild Symptoms in Etrog Citron*
    Lack of Cross-Protection Between Citrus Exocortis Vir- oid and Citrus Viroids Associated with Mild Symptoms in Etrog Citron* S. M. Garnsey, R. F. Lee, and J. S. Semancik ABSTRACT. Etrog citron plants systemically infected with citrus viroid (CV) isolates, which cause mild symptoms in citron, developed the same typical severe symptoms of citrus exocortis viroid (CEV) infection as noninfected plants when challenge-inoculatedby graft or stem-slash inoculation with CEV. There was no difference inincubation period for expression of symptoms ofthe challenge isolate between plants with a primary infection of a mild viroid and noninfected plants. When extracts from citrons infected with the viroids inducing mild symptoms were subjected to sequential gel electrophoresis (sPAGE) under native and denaturing conditions and silver stained, no CEV band was found, but bands corresponding to citrus viroids CV-IIa and CV-IIIb were present. No hybridization was observed between cDNAprobes to CEV and either mild citronviroid. The lackof cross-protection, or interference by mild viroids with infection by the CEV challenge, supports the lack of relationship between CEV and the other mild citrus viroids studied.
