Procedures: Regulatory Treatment and Certification<br />
Sanitation and Treatment<br />
Sanitation<br />
Various sanitation procedures must be followed from the time a field<br />
is identified as infested with golden nematode until the field is officially<br />
surveyed and confirmed negative for golden nematode to prevent the<br />
spread of the pest.<br />
Procedures deemed appropriate by the officer will be implemented<br />
following each authorized activity on an infested field.<br />
See Sanitation on page 2-3-3 and .<br />
Authorized Pesticides<br />
Steam heat treatment is the established method of fumigating<br />
regulated articles. See T.406C & T.406D in the PPQ Treatment <strong>Manual</strong>.<br />
Methyl bromide is authorized for treatment of regulated articles for<br />
golden nematode. See Figure 3-1-1.<br />
