From February 1, 2023, Rosselkhoznadzor prohibits the import of sunflower seeds from the American manufacturer Syngenta Seeds into Russia.Article continues below
Measures were taken in connection with the identification of a quarantine object for Russia and the EAEU member countries - sunflower phomopsis (Diaporthe helianthi Munt. Cvet. Et al.).
Restrictions were introduced in order to protect the territory of the Russian Federation from the introduction of this object.
Earlier, in connection with the discovery of this object, taking into account the analysis of phytosanitary risks, emergency measures were taken and from November 21, 2022, the import of sunflower seeds from all sites / places of shipment of Syngenta España SA and Syngenta France SAS is prohibited.
Phomopsis sunflower is also called gray or brown spotting, cancer of sunflower stems. It is one of the most harmful, intensively spreading sunflower diseases in the world.
The natural spread of the pathogen by means of ascospores and other infectious structures occurs over a limited distance. The main source of infection is infected seed material.
Sunflower seeds can carry infection in the form of mycelium, pycnidia and pycnospores located in the tissues or on the surface of the achenes.
Seeds that contain a latent infection of the Phomopsis pathogen, in case of spillage along the way, in places of storage, processing and (or) use as bird feed, are a potential hazard.
The causative agent of the disease remains on the affected stems, baskets, leaves and is transferred with plant debris.
Sunflower seed yield losses during epiphytoties can be 80%. ■ What to read next
