Future management of internal quarantine pests of potato in Ukraine
EPPO Bulletin 28 (4), 487-491
Abstract: A strictly regulatory approach has been taken in the past with respect to quarantine pests present with limited distribution in Ukraine. Leptinotarsa decemlineata had at one time this status, but the regulatory strategy against it was not successful, the pest became widespread and was deleted from the quarantine list. It is suggested that an approach based on pest risk analysis, relating the management strategy more closely to the risk specifically arising from each pest, could be more successful in future against the principal internal quarantine pests of potato in Ukraine: Phthorimaea operculella, Globodera rostochiensis and Synchytrium endobioticum.
