Abstract
Quarantine processing of 305 457 samples of 116 crop species and their wild relatives introduced from 51 countries during the period 2007-2010 led to the interception of 54 pathogens of quarantine significance. These interceptions included pathogens not known to occur in India, or those that possess physiologic races or have a wide host range or reported to cause considerable economic losses. This emphasizes the need to conduct a critical examination of the introduced planting material for minimizing the risk of introduction of exotic pathogens or more virulent races into the country.
