Plants in which a specific
pest does not occur, that are maintained free and clean from a
parasitic pest by means of prevention, control, eradication,

When storing or cultivating
susceptible-plants, be sure they are pest-free (with no live
life stage of pests )
Afterwards make a valid detection and survey to avoid
re-infestation of specific pest by means of a periodical visual
control of plant and plant products.
Some vegetable crop transplants can be infested with insect
pests, and growers using these transplants are put at a
considerable disadvantage.Compare: Disease-free |

| Actually we have plant which are weak and
strong, pest susceptible or nearly pest free, widely adapted or
adapted only to very specific conditions. The best way to avoid
pest and diseases consist in selecting and growing selected
pest-resistant or diseases-resistant varieties (E.g.:
planting pest-free rootstock) |

A Pest-free area (Also
called bufferzone) is an delimitated area in which a specific pest
does not occur or occurs at a low level and in which phytosanitary
measures are taken to prevent spread of the pest. |
|
| |
|
|
| It is Very important to use pest-free and clean
plant or transplants before bringing them into a pest free area,
check carefully items for the presence of pests or pest eggs (In
case presence of pests take adequate phytosanitary measures,
like quarantine and provide eradication and/or suppress the
infested items). |
