Abstract

The Minister may make Orders for preventing introduction of destructive insects or pests or agents for the biological control of plant pests. Such Order, under this section 3, may prohibit or regulate the landing in the State of any article brought from a place out of the State, the landing whereof may appear to the Minister likely to introduce any destructive in or pest or any agent for the biological control of plant pests into the State, and may direct or authorize the destruction of any such article, if landed. The Minister may also make Orders for preventing spreading of destructive insects or pests or agents for the biological control of plant pests under section 3. Section 4 provides for the compensation for destroyed crops. Whenever in relation to a particular district an order is made under section 3 of this Act for the protection of crops from a destructive in or pest or an agent for the biological control of plant pests introduced into the State, the Minister may serve on any owner of a potato crop planted in that district a notice ("spraying notice") requiring him within the time specified in such notice to spray such potato crop with the prescribed spraying mixture in the prescribed manner (sect. 8).
