Pest risk analysis-Pest risk analysis (PRA)

Pest risk analysis (PRA) is “the process of evaluating biological or other scientific and economic evidence to determine whether an organism is a pest, whether it should be regulated, and the strength of any phytosanitary measures to be taken against it” (IPPC, 2012).

IDENTIFICATION OF PEST PRACTICALLY OVERALL PEST RISK MANAGEMENT

3. The pest risk analysis is seen as a key to export any farm product to other countries.

4. The Pest Risk Analysis guidelines ISPM Nos. 2 and 11

5. PEST RISK ANALYSIS PEST RISK INITIATION PEST RISK ASSESSMENT PEST RISK MANAGEMENT

6. Initiation points PRA initiated by the identification of a pest PRA initiated by the identification of a pathway PRA initiated by the review or revision of a policy Identification of PRA area Information Previous PRA

7. Pathway identification EXAMPLES OF PATHWAYS Commodity identification

8. SHIPPING CONTAINERS WOOD PACKING CUSTOMS WAREHOUSE WIND EXAMPLES OF OTHER PATHWAYS

9. A pest is defined as “any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic agent, injurious to  plants or plant products ”   [FAO 1990; revised FAO, 1995; IPPC, 1997] DEFINITION OF PEST

10.  Performing a PRA for  Thrips palmi,  the   possible pathways for the entry of this pest could be Cuttings of different ornamental plant species  Foliage and cut flowers Clothing of international passengers Tropical Food produce EXAMPLE

11. The PRA Area:  An  area  in   relation to which a  Pest   Risk Analysis  is conducted [FAO, 1995]

12. CABI.2007- Crop Protection Compendium   EPPO.2005- Data Sheet on Quarantine Pests PRA conducted by other NPPOs or RPPOs INFORMATION GATHERING The Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International Office of Executive Policy and Programs European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization

13. If during the initiation of a PRA by a pathway no pest associated with that way is detected No assessment is carried out, this decision is reported CONCLUSION

14. whether a pest has or has not the characteristics of a quarantine pest  Pest identity Scientific name : Tuta absoluta Common name : tomato leaf miner Family : Gelechidae Order : lepidoptera Class : Insecta PEST RISK ASSESSMENT

15. Pest Presence or Absence in the PRA area in all parts of the area only in some areas (specify the areas)except in specified pest free areas (which should be identified) only in some areas where host crop (s) are grown only in protected cultivation seasonally Present Absent Informnation Sources on Pest Status in an Area

16. PEST REGULATORY STATUS

17. Establishment is the perpetuation, for the foreseeable future, of a pest in an area after its entry [FAO, 1990; revised FAO, 1995; IPPC, 1997; formerly Established]. POTENTIAL FOR ESTABLISHMENT AND SPREAD

18. A potential harmful impact on plants, for Example: crops (e.g. loss of yield, or quality); the environment, for example, damage to ecosystems, habitats or species; or some other specified value, e.g. recreation, tourism, aesthetics. POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC, ENIRONMENT AND SOCIAL CONSEQENCES

19. LEVEL OF RISK UN ACCEPTABLE

20. Conclusions of pest risk assessment Risk acceptable? Risk unacceptable? PRA continues PEST RISK MANAGEMENT

21. Risk management measures should be proportional to the risk identified.

22. DOCUMENTATION The IPPC and the principle of "transparency" (ISPM No. 1: Principles of plant quarantine as related to international trade) require that countries should, on request , make available the rationale for phytosanitary requirements. The whole process from initiation to pest risk management should be sufficiently documented so that when a review or a dispute arises, the sources of information and rationale used in reaching the management decision can be clearly demonstrated.

23. The main elements of documentation are: purpose for the PRA pest, pest list, pathways, PRA area, endangered area sources of information categorized pest list conclusions of risk assessment probability consequences risk management options identified options selected.
