Draft group pest risk analysis for soft and hard scale insects on fresh fruit, vegetable, cut-flower and foliage imports
We are conducting a group pest risk analysis (PRA) for soft and hard scale insects on fresh fruit, vegetable, cut-flower and foliage imports.
Scale insects can cause considerable economic consequences across a range of crops by reducing yield, quality and marketability.
We have now released a draft report for this group PRA.
You are invited to provide comments on the draft report. In particular on:
- relevant technical issues
- scale insects and the viruses assessed
- identified risk management measures
- equivalent risk management outcomes.
Submit your comments by 4 February 2021.
To make a submission:
- read the draft group PRA
- submit your feedback via our online form, or by post or email.
We will consider all comments before preparing the final report.
