6. Pre-export management
(1) Orchard management.
1. All stone orchards exported to China should establish a sound quality management system and traceability system under the supervision of the Ukrainian side, implement Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), maintain the sanitary conditions of the orchard, and clean up the fallen and rotten fruits in a timely manner; and implement integrated pest management (IPM), which includes regular pest monitoring surveys, physical, chemical or biological pest control, and control measures such as agricultural practices.
2. In accordance with the requirements of the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 6 (ISPM 6), the Uzbek side shall formulate a management plan for quarantine pests of concern to the Chinese side, and organize and implement orchard monitoring throughout the year. If a pest or its corresponding symptoms are identified during surveillance, integrated management measures, including chemical, physical or biological control, are implemented to control pest population densities or maintain low prevalence levels.
3. The monitoring and prevention of pests shall be carried out under the guidance of professional and technical personnel, and technical personnel shall receive training from the Ukrainian side or its authorized institutions.
4. Orchards exported to China should keep monitoring records and prevention records of harmful organisms, and provide them to the Chinese side when needed. The control record includes information such as the name, active ingredient, dosage and time of the chemical used during the growing season.
5. For codling moth, stone fruits exported to China need to come from codling moth non-epidemic production areas or orchards that have been effectively controlled by systematic control measures. Pest-free production areas shall be established by the National Plant Protection Organization in accordance with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 10 (ISPM 10), and pest monitoring shall be carried out by the Ukrainian side in accordance with the relevant requirements (see Annex 1), and shall be approved by the Chinese side. If codling moths are found in the relevant non-epidemic production areas, the Ukrainian side should immediately suspend the status of the non-epidemic production areas, notify the Chinese side within 48 hours, and activate the emergency plan. When the Ukrainian side eliminates the epidemic and is approved by the Chinese side, the non-epidemic producing areas can be restored.
If it is not possible to establish a non-epidemic production area, the Ukrainian side should adopt systematic control measures, use pheromone trapping and monitoring methods, monitor the codling moth in orchards exported to China, and provide monitoring records to the Chinese side upon request. Orchards exported to China should carry out codling moth monitoring from the flowering period to the end of harvest. The density of traps in orchards is 1 per hectare, orchards with an area of less than 3 hectares must be installed with at least 3 traps, the traps are replaced once a month, and the traps are checked once a week. If three or more codling moths are found in the trap, effective control should be carried out immediately (e.g., using interfering mating techniques, etc.). For orchards that have not been thoroughly controlled, the Ukrainian side should suspend the orchard's qualification to export to China and immediately notify the Chinese side. Upon request, the Ukrainian side shall provide the Chinese side with a pest investigation report or management record.
6. For the grape winged moth, the drupes exported to China must come from the non-epidemic production areas of the grape winged moth or the orchard where systematic control measures have been implemented. Pest-free production areas shall be established by the National Plant Protection Organization in accordance with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 10 (ISPM 10), and pest monitoring shall be carried out by the Ukrainian side in accordance with the relevant requirements (see Annex 1), and shall be approved by the Chinese side. If the grape winged moth is found in the relevant non-epidemic production area, the Ukrainian side shall immediately suspend its status as a non-epidemic production area, notify the Chinese side within 48 hours, and activate the emergency plan. When the epidemic is eradicated by the Ukrainian side and recognized by the Chinese side, the non-epidemic producing areas can be restored.
If the non-epidemic production area cannot be established, the Ukrainian side should adopt systematic control measures and use pheromone trapping and monitoring methods to monitor the grape flower-winged small curly moth in the orchards exported to China, and provide monitoring records to the Chinese side as required. The Ukrainian side or its authorized personnel shall carry out pest control in registered orchards through field surveys and trap monitoring from the flowering period to the harvest period of drupes. Traps in the orchard are set at a density of at least 2 per hectare and inspected at least once every two weeks. The Ukrainian side shall provide the Chinese side with a monitoring report before the annual export season as required. Once the grape winged moth is detected, it is necessary to carry out effective control immediately (e.g., using interfering mating techniques, etc.). For orchards that have not been thoroughly controlled, the Ukrainian side should suspend the orchard's qualification to export to China and immediately notify the Chinese side. Upon request, the Ukrainian side shall provide the Chinese side with a pest investigation report or management record.
7. For fungi and viruses, see Annex 2 for specific prevention and control measures. If any suspicious symptoms are found, samples must be taken for laboratory testing. If quarantine viruses of concern to China are found in orchards, comprehensive management measures must be taken to control the occurrence of viruses and ensure that drupes do not carry these viruses.
8. For aphids, scale insects and other pests, the orchard exported to China should be monitored under the supervision and guidance of Ukrainian technicians, and an orchard survey should be conducted every two weeks from flowering to harvest, focusing on the occurrence of the above pests in branches, stems, leaves and fruits. If any pest or its corresponding symptoms are found, immediate measures should be taken to control the occurrence of the pest, such as biological, physical or chemical methods.
