Current through September 2, 2024

01. Quarantine. Any field in which there is a disagreement concerning the identity of the regulated pest or the virulence of the pathogen to its host will be placed under quarantine. Entry to the quarantined area will be restricted to the grower or his agents, Department officials, University of Idaho plant pathologists, and persons authorized in writing by the Director. Persons granted entry to the quarantined area will be required to take all necessary sanitary precautions prescribed by the Director.

02. Destruction.

a. Upon the confirmation of a regulated pest, any bean fields within the boundaries of the state will be destroyed in total, as required by the Director, to eliminate the pest at the expense of the grower and his landlord. The Director will notify the grower or his landlord of the method and extent of the destruction and safeguards against pest spread in order for the parties to comply. A written plan of destruction and disinfection must be signed by the Department, Company Representative, and the grower.

b. No residue or harvested seed can leave the field boundaries upon notification to the grower by the Department. The grower has seven (7) days to burn or breakup plant material, and incorporate into the soil by plowing or other method as approved by the Director. All equipment used to eliminate the pest is required to be disinfected. Destruction and disinfection will be witnessed by the Department. The field will then be quarantined from bean plantings throughout the permanent boundary for five (5) years following the detection of Anthracnose and Bacterial Wilt, and for three (3) years for all other regulated pests as listed in Section 012, Subsections 013.01, and 013.02.

03. Threshing and Segregating. When the symptoms of a regulated pest are first detected during windrow inspection and laboratory confirmation is necessary, the Director may allow the beans to be threshed and segregated until laboratory results are obtained.
