Abstract

The present Ordinance implements the Styria Plant Protection Law (LGB. No. 82/2002). The Ordinance lays down provisions on emergency measures to prevent the spread of corn rootworm. In areas where maize is grown, each year an official survey shall be conducted to detect this disease. When the results of those surveys confirm the presence of the organism in an area which was previously known to be free from the organism, demarcated zones shall be defined. The text consists of 14 articles divided into 4 Parts as follows: General provisions (I); Measures in established areas (II); Measures on the first onset of corn rootworm (IIII); Final provisions (IV).
