It is for all this that we are carrying out several measures, coordinated and inspected by the Generalitat Valenciana and the Generalitat de Catalunya, to be able to guarantee greater control and prevention.
All our plants are under a cover resistant to meteorological factors (stone, wind …).
The cover is either plastic or net with a minimum density that prevents the entry of harmful vectors.
The facilities have double door at the entrance. Both in the personnel and in the machinery entrances.
Windows and vents, if they are open, they also have protective mesh.
Continuous inspections are carried out to observe possible vectors of diseases and pests.
Placement of chromatic sticky traps at greenhouse entrances.
The structures are maintained continuously.
Access to the facilities is only allowed for authorized personnel and after the corresponding disinfection of hands and footwear.
The programme for certifying citrus seedlings features a set of legal regulations, the periodical holding of diagnostic tests for harmful organisms and diseases along with a series of inspections during the various phases of propagation in nurseries, ensuring plants’ clonal origins and guaranteeing the authenticity of varieties and overall health.
Those to benefit from the certification programme are mainly farmers and as a consequence, the citriculture of country. The official body in each autonomous community is responsible for the control and certification of seeds and seedlings in Catalonia.
