Taking into account the phytosanitary recommendations of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO), as well as quarantine and phytosanitary requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union, improved collections of fruit crops in Belarus have been updated, in particular: 22 varieties and 2 clonal rootstocks of apple; 8 varieties and 2 clonal rootstocks of pear; 11 varieties and 3 clonal rootstocks of plum and cherry plum; 16 varieties and 5 clonal rootstocks of cherry and sweet cherry; 4 varieties and 1 clonal rootstock of apricot; 5 varieties and 1 clonal rootstock of peach. Laboratory testing regimens for classification of fruit crops into the ‘original’ category are supplemented with 3 phytoplasma (including 2 quarantine) and 13 viral (including 3 quarantine) pathogens.
