Species

2. Definitions
Global trade
Exchange of capital, goods and services across
international borders or territories.
Promotes economic growth, efficiency, technology
progress & consumer welfare.
Invasive alien species
an alien species whose introduction and/or spread
threaten biological diversity
Quarantine pest
a pest of potential economic importance to the area
endangered thereby and not yet present there, or present
but not widely distributed and being officially controlled
(CBD, 2002)
(FAO, 1997)
3. Risk analysis: means the complete process composed of
hazard identification, risk assessment, risk management
and risk communication.
Risk assessment: means the evaluation of the likelihood
and the biological and economic consequences of entry,
establishment and spread of a hazard within the territory of
an importing country.
Risk management: means the process of identifying,
selecting and implementing measures that can be applied to
reduce the level of risk.

4. Fate of Global trade
More trade in goods
More introductions
Higher probability of establishment
More countries in trade more potential habitats for invasive
Greater variety of goods & modes of transport greater potential of
invasives and pathways for introduction
Faster modes of transport increased chances of survival
System is as strong as its weakest link
5. Effectiveness of Existing System
Small handful of model countries
Inspection rate of 1-2% of goods
Reluctance to place invasives on black lists
Under-resourced regulatory authorities
7. International Legal Framework
TRADE
• Int’l Maritime Organization
• Int’l Civil Aviation Organization
• UN Convention on the Law of
the Sea
• Convention on Biological Diversity
• Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
• Ramsar Convention
ENVIRONMENT TRANSPORT
• WTO- SPS Agreement

alien species which threaten ecosystems, habitats or species
Joint work plan with IPPC
Work on gaps and inconsistencies in the international legal
framework

9. Guiding principle
1. Precautionary approach
Risk Analysis wrt principle 15 of the 1992 Rio Declaration on
Environment and Development & Preamble of the CBD
7. Border control and quarantine measures
Intentional introductions of alien species are subject to
appropriate authorization (principle 10)
Risk analysis
Early detection systems
10. Intentional introduction
risk analysis/ environmental impact assessment
Authorize a proposed introduction to ecological regions country
Permit only those species that are unlikely to threaten biological
diversity.
10. Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
Article 15 (Risk assessment) “… to identify and
evaluate the possible adverse effects of living
modified organisms on the conservation and
sustainable use of biological diversity”

Trade in alien invasive species
Considering alien species can pose significant threats to
biodiversity
Species of fauna and flora in commercial trade are likely to be
introduced to new habitat as a result of international trade
Consider the problems in developing national legislation and
regulations that deal with the trade in live animals or plants
Convention on the Int’l Trade in
Endangered Species
12. Int’l Treaty on PGR for Food &
Agriculture
Article 5 – Conservation
Survey and inventory PGR for food and agriculture
Status and degree of variation in existing populations
Including populations that are of potential use and, as
feasible, assess any threats to them
13. Int’l Plant Protection Convention
Article 1(1)
prevent the spread and introduction of pests of plants and plant
products
promote appropriate measures for their control
adopt the legislative, technical and administrative measures
specified in this Convention
Article 4(2) -Responsibilities of an official NPPO
protection of endangered areas
designation, maintenance and surveillance of pest free areas
areas of low pest prevalence
ISPM 11 (rev)
Pest risk analysis for quarantine pests
analysis of environmental risks and LMO
14. Global Invasive Species Programme (1997)
Conserve biodiversity and sustain human livelihoods by minimizing
the spread and impact of IAS.
Partner organizations- CABI, IUCN, The Nature Conservancy
In its first phase
focused IAS assessments
developed guides and toolkits for policy, regulation, prevention and
management
adoption by the CBD of a work programme on IAS.
During a second phase
implemented activities to engage and inform governments
stimulate action and cooperation, between governments and different
sectors (e.g. environment and agriculture) to address IAS threats.
Following the global economic recession- difficulties in securing &
become dormant
15. Overlapping mandates of international and
regional organizations

Prevention is Optimal Strategy

17. Fall army worm Spodoptera frugiperda
Invasive pest from US
Spread to Brazil, Argentina, Africa & India
Shivamogga- 2018, later to Karur (TN)
“Pest war”- TN state govt.
Attacks emerging leaf whorl of 15 days old crop
Holes arranged in straight line
Tips & shank of the corn
Clean cultivation, summer ploughing, wider spacing (60*25cm)
50kg neem cake
Imidachloprid/ thiamethaxam 70WS @10gm/kg seed
Emamectin benzoate
18. Tomato Leaf Miner, Tuta absoluta
Tomato Leaf Miner was observed for the first time on
tomato and potato crop in Pune, Maharashtra, and 6
districts of Karnataka.
Most serious threat for tomato production worldwide.
Severe infestation (50-87% plants affected) was observed
in several tomato fields (Sridhar et al.,2014).
(Muniappan.,2015) stated that if T. absoluta invades rest
of the world, the tomato pest management cost may rise
up to $ 500 M per year.
19. Up to 52.4% fruit damage noticed in Malur, Kolar,
Raichur and Krishnagiri region during (2015-2016)
20. Rugose Spiralling Whitefly (RSW)
Invasive pest on coconut -Pollachi (TN) and Palakkad- 2016.
As a polyphagous pest with more than 200 host plants
Host plants : Psidium guajava; Musa sp., Myristica fragrans;
Colacasia sp., Garcinia sp., Annona muricata; Murraya koenigii;
Spondias mombin; Mangifera indica and Artocarpus heterophyllus in
coconut homesteads.
In outer whorls, progressing towards the inner whorls, but emerging
fronds were not infested.

22. Management Strategies
• Application of 1% starch solution on leaflets to flake out the sooty moulds.
• Yellow sticky traps on the palm trunk as well as in iterspaces for trapping
adult whiteflies.
• Encourage build up of parasitoids (Encarsia sp.) and re-introduce parasitized
pupae to emerging zones of whitefly outbreak.
• In severe case, spray neem oil 0.5% and no insecticide is recommended.
CPCRI, Kasaragod, Kerala, India.
23. Coconut Leaf Beetle, Brontispa longissima
Damaging pests of coconut and other palms.
Native to Indonesia, extensive loss in Maldives, Myanmar and
Indonesia.
80-90% of seedling infestation with 40% of the leaf area damage
in Kasargod
‘Red alert’ has been issued
Quarantine thorough screening of baggage for ornamental palms
at entry points into the country
(CPCRI, 2015)

25. Banana leaf Skipper - Erionota thrax
From Madurai, Theni, Coimbatore and Erode Districts of Tamil Nadu
and Chamrajnagar District
During September - October 2013, epidemic build up at several places
in Kerala viz., Peechi, Palghat and Nilambur.
Preference to the Njalipoovan variety
The larvae characteristically feed within rolls of leaves
cutting the leaf sheath transversely
consume the entire foliage leaving only the mid rib.
Skipper- Hasora chromus
recorded on Pongamia pinnata in and around Bangalore
trees were entirely defoliated
insectivorous birds feed on caterpillars.
(Padmanaban, 2014).

Highly polyphagous
Transmits Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV).
( Tyagi ,et al. , 2015)
28. Erythrina Gall wasp Quadrastichus erythrinae
Kolar, Mandya and Ramnagar districts.
Aprostocetus gala was found to be the major parasitoid with
10-15% parasitization.
29. Study the bio-ecology of known insect pests and their
natural enemies under changing climatic conditions.
Careful tracking of geographical distribution of pests.
Developing cultivars resistant to insect pests.
Judicious use of insecticides to prevent resistance and
resurgence development.
To identify, conserve and augment natural enemies of
emerging insect pests.
Modifying crop management practices.
Developing suitable IPM programmes.
Phytosanitary regulations to prevent or limit the
introduction of risky insect pests.
Better weather forecasting.
