Safe Movement of ICRISAT’s Seed Crops Germplasm. Information Bulletin no. 81. Patancheru 502 324, Andhra Pradesh, India: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. 244 pp. ISBN 978-92-9066-524-3. Order code IBE 081. Abstract This information bulletin is a part of the report of the project- Global Public Goods II, Activity 3.1 entitled “Safe Movement of Seed Crops Germplasm and Protection of CGIAR Germplasm Banks”. This contains information on various aspects of global seed germplasm exchange of ICRISAT’s mandate crops (sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea, groundnut and small millets) through the Plant Quarantine Laboratory and National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Government of India. The bulletin mainly focuses on the most important client countries importing ICRISAT’s mandate crops germplasm and their quarantine requirements; phytosanitary requirements for export of ICRISAT’s mandate seed crops to countries across the globe and technical information on the quarantine significant pests and diseases of ICRISAT’s mandate crops. This bulletin will be useful to those who are involved in germplasm exchange at national and international levels. Cover: (Clockwise from top left) Seed infected by Rhizoctonia bataticola of groundnut, Moesziomyces penicillariae of pearl millet, Ascochyta rabiei of chickpea. Seed infested by Callosobruchus analis of pigeonpea and Sitophilus oryzae of sorghum (inset). © International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), 2010. All rights reserved.

International exchange of germplasm is critical to genetic improvement of crop cultivars to meet the ever-increasing demand of food, feed and fodder. With increasing global vulnerability to agricultural bioterrorism, the role of plant quarantine departments at the national and international levels becomes the first line of defense in bio- security, which is critical to food security. This report documents varied aspects of concerns related to germplasm exchange of ICRISAT’s mandate crops, protocols and procedures for germplasm exchange. This also includes the phytosanitary requirement for ICRISAT mandate crops, quarantine significant pests and technical guidelines for quarantine significant pests. Exchange of germplasm must flow for conservation of genetic diversity across countries for utilization in research, This will help realize the dream of food security in most developing countries where food production is still way below the demand. International exchange of seed crops germplasm increases phytosanitary risks that involves introduction of exotic insect-pests and pathogens. This publication will play a crucial role in safe movement of ICRISAT’s mandate crops germplasm across the globe for crop improvements, without having the phytosanitary risks.
