Description
Summary:Documents the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's (MAF) investigation and analysis to date of potential incursion pathways for tomato/potato psyllid (TPP) Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae). Summarises the data and reasoning behind the conclusion that TPP was most plausibly introduced to NZ as a result of smuggling, rather than through slippage on regulated pathways. Notes that TPP affects the potato, tomato, capsicum and tamarillo industries and was first notified to MAF in May 2006.
