Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 603 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE › Division 52 - PEST AND DISEASE CONTROL › Section 603-052-1221 - Quarantine; Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Establishing a Quarantine. A quarantine
			 is established against glassy-winged sharpshooter, Hoalodisca coagulata. This
			 quarantine is established under ORS
			 561.510 and
			 561.540 to protect Oregon's
			 agricultural industries from the artificial spread of glassy-winged
			 sharpshooter. Glassy-winged sharpshooter is a vector of Pierce's disease,
			 Xylella fastidiosa (see OAR 603-052-0051), in grapes and other diseases of
			 important horticultural plants. Glassy-winged sharpshooter is not known to be
			 established in Oregon. Introduction of glassy-winged sharpshooter could result
			 in serious damage to vineyards in Oregon and cause trade restrictions on many
			 other host plants.
(2) Area under
			 Quarantine: Mexico; the entire States of Alabama, Arkansas, California,
			 Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South
			 Carolina, and Texas; and any other state found to be infested with
			 glassy-winged sharpshooter during the life of this quarantine. In Oregon, any
			 property where glassy-winged sharpshooter is found.
(3) Commodities Covered: All plants
			 referenced in Appendix A. This does not include cut flowers, cut foliage,
			 leafless budwood, grafting wood, or dormant, leafless nursery stock except all
			 types of propagative material of grape plants (Vitis spp.) (see (4)(c) below).
			 All life stages of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, including eggs, nymphs, and
			 adults.
(4) Provisions of the
			 Quarantine: All shipments of covered commodities from areas under quarantine
			 outside the state of Oregon are prohibited unless they meet the conditions
			 below:
(a) Covered commodities, except grape
			 plants (Vitis spp., see (4)(b)), originating from the area under quarantine
			 including infested counties in California: Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles,
			 Madera, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa
			 Barbara, Santa Clara, Tulare, Ventura, and any other county found to be
			 infested with glassy-winged sharpshooter during the life of this quarantine,
			 must meet either (A) or (B) below.
NOTE
: An infestation is defined as an established,
				reproducing population as evidenced by positive trap catches or sightings over
				more than one generation of the glassy-winged sharpshooter or more than one
				life stage of the glassy-winged sharpshooter found on plants not including
				regulatory interceptions on recently imported plants.
(A) Originate from nurseries under compliance
			 agreement with the state of origin Department of Agriculture requiring
			 adherence to specific protocols to ensure that shipped host nursery stock is
			 free of glassy-winged sharpshooter; or
(B) Have been treated with a registered
			 pesticide effective at killing all stages of glassy-winged sharpshooter prior
			 to shipment as near to the time of shipping as is reasonably possible. A
			 phytosanitary certificate or certificate of quarantine compliance must
			 accompany the shipment with one of the following additional declarations: "All
			 glassy-winged sharpshooter host plants in this shipment have been grown in a
			 nursery under compliance agreement with the [fill in state] Department of
			 Agriculture to ensure freedom from glassy-winged sharpshooter," or: "All
			 glassy-winged sharpshooter host plants in this shipment have been treated with
			 [fill in name and rate of pesticide] for glassy-winged sharpshooter."
