On July 27 2013, the MoA circulated two lists regarding the distribution of agricultural pests in different administration areas. Both the “National Distribution Directory of Agricultural Phytosanitary Pests within Administrative Areas (2012)” and the “National Directory of Provincial Administrative Area Burst with Agricultural Phytosanitary Pests (2012)” were compiled under the “Regulation of Plant Quarantine” and the survey of the agricultural pests in China.
MoA directed its provincial subordinates to potentially expand the scope of the Directory by investigating the pests in different township and submitting the information to the MoA by September 30.In total 29 pests have been added into the lists (See table 1).
