European Corn Borer: If you are planning to ship live plant material or biomass (seeds are exempt) to California or Texas you must meet European Corn Borer quarantine certification. Greenhouse or field grown plant material must have traps placed from May 1 to Oct. 31. This includes mother stock of future cutting material. Biomass material can meet ECB certification using ½” screening certification.
Field Inspections: Live plant material, biomass, or seed shipments to some foreign countries may require that the plant material be inspected during the active growth period. CDA inspectors can provide this certification either for greenhouse or field grown crop production. This involves a one-time only visual inspection during the active growth period of that crop.
