Abstract

This Chapter of the California Food and Agricultural Code regulates caprifigs and caprifig trees, and related pest control measures. It provides that caprifigs, unless properly treated, contribute to, and are responsible for, the transmission of endosepsis and other plant diseases by the blastophaga which the figs contain. The county agricultural commissioner may enter any place where caprifigs are produced, packed, stored, shipped, delivered for shipment, or sold, and inspect them. He may seize and hold for evidence any caprifigs which are packed, shipped, delivered for shipment, or sold in violation of any provision of this Chapter, and prosecute actions for any such violation. Every person who owns, raises, uses, packs, ships, or delivers for shipment or sells any caprifigs of the mamme crop for use within the county, shall treat such figs by a method which is approved by the commissioner for the prevention or elimination of endosepsis or the transmission of endosepsis by the blastophaga in the figs.
