Plant Protection Inspectorate
Due to the intensive and globalised nature of the business of material multiplication, there is a risk to agriculture that particularly dangerous or harmful diseases and pests are introduced and spread. Phytosanitary inspectorates being part of the Federal Phytosanitary Service (SFP) help to prevent the dispersion of quarantined organisms (QO, for example fire blight, sharka, Diabrotica).
The specific mission of the phytosanitary inspectorates is as follows:
- Drawing up of phytosanitary certificates for the exportation of multiplication material.
- Participation in the Swiss phytosanitary passport system.
- Support to the cantonal phytosanitary services in the monitoring and fight against QO.
- Support to the SPF (Federal Phytosanitary Service) for border controls and the business of multiplication material.
- Coordination of laboratory diagnosis in the research stations.
