Distribution of Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida
The EPPO Secretariat received the notification that Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida (EPPO A2 organisms) are not present in former Yugoslavia and especially Croatia and Slovenia. The EPPO Distribution List for G. rostochiensis and G. pallida has to be revised accordingly.
Information received during the recent validation of EPPO's PQR data base has also been incorporated.
