Best Management Practices

Keep records of incoming and outgoing stock as well as field history and progeny.  This will help track infestation timing from year to year and correlate them with plant stages.  These records are essential for tracking the movement of potentially infected material.  When receiving stock from other facilities, be aware of their management methods and records (97).  This practice is required for some quarantined pests (61).  Any exotic pests or pathogens should be reported to nursery inspectors (97).
