				  and size of quarantined areas, in order to utilize roads or other recognizable
				  geographic features to demarcate boundaries of quarantined areas or core areas.
				  Core areas shall be treated as prescribed by the department or the USDA. Within

				  quarantined pest is detected inside that core area.
(b) The owner or orchard manager may be
				  required to bear all treatment expenses.
(c) The owner or orchard manager shall enter

				  flies are not detected beginning with the most recent detection of a
				  quarantined pest and continuing for two generations, followed by one generation
				  without trapping any quarantined pests . The number of days required to
				  complete a fly generation will vary, based on a degree-day model calculated by
				  the department or the USDA.
(f) In
				  addition to assessment of administrative penalties as provided in the Texas
				  Agriculture Code, §12.020, a violation of this subchapter may require
				  destruction of quarantined articles.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12,
				  2024
(a) The department
				  finds that
Anastrepha serpentina
(Wiedemann), also known as
				  the sapote fruit fly or serpentine fruit fly, is at any stage of development a
				  dangerous insect pest or plant disease that is not widely distributed in this
				  state.
(b) Description of dangerous
				  insect pest or plant disease. The sapote fruit fly, scientific name
Anastrepha serpentina
(Wiedemann) and also known as the
				  serpentine fruit fly, is a dangerous pest of the numerous host plants listed in
				  §
										RSA
				  19.174 of this title (relating to Articles
				  Subject to the Quarantine). The fly oviposits in the fruit where the larvae
				  subsequently hatch and begin feeding. The larvae, feeding inside the fruit,
				  cause damage to the flesh of the fruit making it unmarketable. The United
				  States Department of Agriculture (USDA), as well as many other states, consider
				  the sapote fruit fly to be a pest of quarantine significance whose control and
				  eventual eradication from quarantined areas is imperative.
(c) Unless otherwise expressly stated, the
				  term "sapote fruit fly" when used in this subchapter refers to any or all
				  developmental stages of the dangerous insect pest or plant disease described in
				  this section.
(d) The department is
				  authorized by §
										RSA
				  71.002 of the Texas Agriculture Code to
				  establish a quarantine against the dangerous insect pest or plant disease
				  identified in this section.
Texas Administrative Code › Title 4 - AGRICULTURE › Part 1 - TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE › Chapter 19 - QUARANTINES AND NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE PLANTS › Subchapter Q - SAPOTE FRUIT FLY QUARANTINE › Section 19.171 - Duration of the Quarantine

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12,
				  2024
The quarantine established by this subchapter shall remain
					 in effect until the dangerous insect pest or plant disease described in §
										RSA
					 19.170 of this title (relating to Basis for
					 Quarantine - Dangerous Insect Pest or Plant Disease (Proscribed Biological
					 Entity)) is eradicated. The sapote fruit fly shall be considered eradicated
					 from the quarantined area when no additional sapote fruit flies are detected
					 for a time period equal to three consecutive generations after the most recent
					 detection. For the sapote fruit fly, the number of days required to complete a
					 reproductive cycle, one generation, is dependent upon temperature. Therefore, a
					 day-degree model will be used to calculate the duration of each consecutive
					 generation.
