The introduction of new pests in a country can cause severe disturbances to the agricultural and forestry production, with related negative economic effects.
Woodlands and urban green spaces are also constantly threaten by species coming from different ecosystems.
A pest, without the natural enemies living in its native ecosystem, can easily spread and settle down in a new environment. The list of new pests and plants’ diseases is very long including insects, fungus, bacteriums, virus and nematodes.
A national phytosanitary emergency highlights the strategic control and preventive role the Marche Region Plant Protecion Service (Marche RPPS) plays together with all other institutions involved in plants’ protection.
