Number of pages: 4

The notified document establishes phytosanitary import requirements for Sansevieria spp. plants for planting, requiring that Sansevieria spp. ornamental material be monitored and analysed in containment conditions under the post-entry quarantine regime for the quarantine pest Opogona sacchari, due to its habit of feeding inside the host plant tissue, which makes it difficult to detect at the point of entry, and to the significant economic impact that its introduction, spread and establishment may have on domestic production of the species concerned.
