Plant quarantine is a legislative measure enforced to regulate the introduction of seeds, plants/ planting materials, plant products, soil, living organisms etc. in order to prevent inadvertent introduction of insect pests, nematodes, pathogens (fungi, bacteria and viruses) and weeds harmful to the agriculture/ state/ region, and if introduced, prevent their establishment and further spread. Transboundary movement of plant material carries the risk of entry of the associated pests. NBPGR has been given the responsibility on behalf of the Government of India to carry out quarantine checks on the plants/ planting material meant for research purposes for both public and private sectors. Detailed quarantine examination is carried out for fungi, bacteria and viruses, insects, nematodes and weeds.
