摘要

The goal of the USDA-APHIS-PPQ Golden Nematode Program is to maintain a risk-based management system to prevent the spread of golden nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) and new infestations in potatoes, and to facilitate international and interstate agricultural shipments. The Golden Nematode Program includes the following components: Certification of regulated articles for movement from regulated areas; Decision-making on the movement of regulated and non-regulated articles into regulated areas; Survey of regulated land; Survey of fields planted with susceptible crop varieties; Soil sample processing for golden nematode; Control of golden nematode infestations and regulated land; and Treatment of equipment and supplies that enter, are used on, or exit regulated land.
