Presentation Transcript

    1. Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory, Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST), USDA-APHIS-PPQ Integrating Technology to Assist the Weed Risk Assessment Process

    2. Overview PERAL Weed Team Technologies to support the WRA process Caveat: Invasive plant = weed

    3. Mission statement: To provide scientific and analytical support for PPQ regulatory programs requiring decisions associated with invasive plants.

    4. Importation: Help complete WRAs to support decision making related to imports Exportation: Provide technical assistance to guard against US exports being unduly restricted by trading partners Domestic: Support surveying, monitoring, and management

    6. Technologies to assist WRAs Prioritization Pathway monitoring/verification Potential for geographic spread

    7. 1. Prioritization Project with Weed Science Society America Model ranking of global weeds not known to occur in U.S. 550+ weeds scored comprehensively Includes spp. present but not naturalized

    8. Prioritization: applications Choose best candidates for possible listing as noxious weeds (WRAs) Rapid scoring (relatively) for newly emerging/introduced species Identify likely target species for surveying, especially species in cultivation
