(1) Certificates may be issued for the following premises used for the production of:

a. Ornamental plants

b. Plant material or seeds certified for varietal purity

c. Pine and/or hardwood seedlings

d. Sod or turfgrass sprigs

(2) Treatment of certain premises may be necessary to prevent the unnatural intrastate and interstate movement of plant pests, including but not limited to federal noxious weeds, via extensive agricultural, forestation and re-forestation, and horticultural practices common to the state. The preferred method of treatment, to insure pest-free plant material, is fumigation using methyl bromide in fields or seedling plant beds prior to seeding. All such treatments shall be done using state and federally-registered pesticides. Each shipment originating from another state must be accompanied by a certificate of inspection issued by the state of origin to verify inspections and/or treatments. Fumigation certificates shall be issued by an inspector for intrastate and interstate shipments of plants or seed upon request.
