A pest that threatened grapevines, landscape plants and nursery stock was declared eradicated in San Luis Obispo County this week.
California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross declared the glassy-winged sharpshooter eradicated from a small San Luis Obispo neighborhood.
That lifted the quarantine on the Arbors area, where the glassy-winged sharpshooters found in 2010 made up the pest’s only known population in the county.
Ross issued the declaration at the request of Martin Settevendemie, county agricultural commissioner.
