Distribution details in Denmark

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2017: Absent, confirmed by survey
Pest status declared by NPPO: Absent: intercepted only (2013-03)
Comments
A few old records (interceptions) in ornamental Musa but never found in Danish potatoes.

EPPO Reporting Service (1997/111) : brown rot of potato has never been found in Denmark. In 1995 and 1996, all tests carried out on ware and seed potato samples, produced in or imported into, the country gave negative results.

From NPPO (2013): found once in the 1990s in 1 glasshouse producing ornamental Musa sp. (so presumably race 2) and in association with an import. Subsequently eradicated.
