Pest of solanaceous crops; brassica and sugar beet; present in parts of the EU. Limited potential to establish in the UK; with some uncertainty. EU regulatory status is under review.
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.
