Canada adds ninebark to SOD list

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency added Physocarpus (ninebark) to its list of plant genera regulated for Phytophthora ramorum. The agency also amended the Phytophthora ramorum compensation regulations. The changes remove the requirement to first consider payments made under the Canadian Agriculture Income Stabilization (CAIS) or the new AgriStability program before making payment to the applicant.
