TL;DR
This paper assesses the risk of pests entering the EU through unrooted cuttings of Petunia and Calibrachoa from Kenya.
Contribution
It evaluates both regulated and non-regulated pests using a tailored methodology for risk assessment.
Findings
Sixteen EU-regulated and six non-regulated pests were identified as relevant for risk assessment.
Tetranychus neocaledonicus is the pest most likely to be present on imported cuttings.
Expert judgment estimates 9942 to 10,000 pest-free cuttings per 10,000 with 95% certainty.
Abstract
The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Kenya. The relevance of any pest for this opinion was based on evidence following defined criteria, based on the methodology used for High‐Risk Plants adapted for the specificity of this assessment. Sixteen EU‐regulated pests (Bemisia tabaci, cowpea mild mottle virus, Liriomyza huidobrensis, Liriomyza sativae, Liriomyza trifolii, potato leafroll virus, potato virus S, potato virus X, potato spindle tuber viroid, Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum, R. solanacearum, Scirtothrips dorsalis, tomato mild mottle virus, tomato spotted wilt virus, tomato yellow leaf curl virus and Xanthomonas…
