Specific scope[Note 1. It is recognized that data is being assembled that ...] This Standard describes a national regulatory control system for species of Epitrix that are known to cause damage to both the haulm and tubers of potato. It provides guidance on preventing their introduction, surveillance and their eradication if found infesting potato. The decision on the most appropriate eradication measures that should be taken in any given outbreak situation will depend on the particular circumstances of the outbreak. However, to illustrate the range of potential measures that can be taken, several outbreak scenarios are outlined in this Standard. In some outbreak situations it may prove difficult to eradicate the pest, so a strategy for containment is also included. Specific approval First approved in 2016–09.
