Between the 10th and 11th of September 2024, the certification course for the pest will take place in Vacaria, in Campos de Cima da Serra do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Ditíssimas neonectria. The course is organized by the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Sustainable Production and Irrigation (Seapi), with the coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and support from Embrapa Uva e Vinho and the Gaúcha Association of Apple Producers (Agapomi).
European cancer caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima is an important disease of apple trees. This pest mainly affects the woody parts, such as the annual branches, twigs and the main trunk of the plant. Occasionally, the fruits can be affected and in the most serious cases, cause the death of the plant.
“Aiming to protect plants against quarantine pests, whose introduction and dissemination in Rio Grande do Sul can generate considerable economic losses, some phytosanitary measures are recommended and hence the importance of this certification course”, highlights the head of the Plant Health Defense Division (DDV) from Seapi, Rita Antochevis.
The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Sustainable Production and Irrigation (Seapi), through the Plant Health Defense Division (DDSV), qualifies technical managers to issue the Phytosanitary Certificate of Origin (CFO) and Consolidated Phytosanitary Certificate of Origin (CFOC).
The CFO and CFOC certify the phytosanitary condition of a plant product or its parts, with the aim of preventing the spread of pests in Rio Grande do Sul and other Brazilian states. These certificates also support the Plant Transit Permit (PTV), a document necessary for the transit of plants, parts of plants or products of plant origin.
The Phytosanitary Certification process is a monitoring carried out by a technician responsible and is based on compliance with a series of standards, provided for in specific legislation, which result in the viability of commercialization and/or transit of plants or parts of plants, ensuring compliance and compliance with the rules to prevent the spread or introduction of regulated pests, pests of interest to the Federation Unit or as required by the importing country.
Qualification, by the technical managers, can be obtained after passing a specific course, for which full attendance and proof of knowledge with a minimum score of seventy-five per center is required. The course program includes two modules, the first with general guidance on certification standards and the second with specific guidance on pests.
Directly at Agapomi, or by email at agapomi@agapomi.com.br or WhatsApp – (54) 99975-1862.
