Development of alternatives to methyl bromide for the disinfestation of horticultural and forestry products

Obiettivo

The objectives of this proposal are to develop new and alternative plant health quarantine treatments in the face of:
1. Restrictions on the use of methyl bromide.
2. The continuing threat of new pest species being introduced to and distribute around the European Union.
3. Strict phytosanitary requirements demanded by third countries restricting the export of material from the European Union (EU).

Fumigation with methyl bromide (mebr) is one of the most widely used methods of disinfesting a range of plants and plant (including timber) products but recent concerns over its role as an ozone depleting chemical have resulted in its listing under the Montreal Protocol. Consequently, international restrictions are now being placed on its use. Nevertheless, international phytosanitary legislation in the EU and elsewhere requires that plant material be free of dangerous pests and diseases, thus requiring that effective treatments should be available. The project will, therefore, investigate the efficacy of alternatives to the use of mebr for quarantine treatments and attempt to develop commercially viable treatments for a number of commodities and pests that are of particular concern to EU member states. The project will concentrate on the two extremes of, on the one hand, live perishable products, predominantly of horticultural origin and on the other hand, timber and timber products, thus providing a wide range of potential applications for alternative treatments. Specifically, the proposed treatment regimes are: Heat Treatments, Composting, Hot Water Dips, Controlled Atmospheres, Fumigants other than mebr and Combinations of the above. Some or all of these will be tested against Timber, Woody Ornamentals, Propagation Material and Cut Flowers. The aims of the project will be achieved in the following way: detail. Responses of pests and commodities and will be used to draw up those that are predicted to give maximum control of the pest, whilst causing minimum damage to the commodity. - Appropriate further experimentation will be carried out to verify and, if necessary, modify the draft regimes. Under conditions that duplicate commercial ones as closely as possible. - Where possible, quarantine treatment schedules will be drawn up and submitted to EPPO, or if appropriate, other international bodies.
