Earlier this week, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) sent a memo to state and territory agricultural-regulatory officials saying it has delayed implementation of the federal order requiring pre-notification for shipping P. ramorum-host nursery stock from regulated and quarantine areas.
“This action will allow for the additional time needed to incorporate revisions to the Federal Order and establish necessary measures to support implementation,” the memo stated.
The delay is in place until further notice, according to USDA APHIS.
For more information, growers can contact the national P. ramorum program manager, Prakash K. Hebbar, at (301) 734-5717.
