Pest of Bougainvillea spreading rapidly around Mediterranean; following introduction from South America. Detected on a Capsicum crop in Austria in 2014. Growers should monitor for its presence and take appropriate action.
Our plants are under greater threat than ever before. There is increasing movement of plants and other material traded from an increasing variety of sources. This increases the chances of exotic pests arriving with imported goods and travellers, as well as by natural means. Shoot is working with Defra to help members to do their part in preventing the introduction and spread of invasive risks.
