Descripción
Many countries have implemented plant material certification programmes to preserve or rebuild certain agricultural sectors. These programmes aim to produce and distribute high quality planting materials that are free from systemic diseases and pests. Certification programmes generally set forth eligibility requirements for nurseries, growers and other purveyors of plants. Only those varieties of plants that have been registered and approved by the competent national authority; that have been ev aluated, indexed1 and found free from any systemic diseases; and that thrive in the region may be certified. Generally, the agricultural ministry administers certification programmes, although the competent authority will vary by country.
