Description
Maize, the main plant host of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii, is a widely grown crop in the PRA area. Due to the commodity exchange conducted by Poland with countries where the agrophage has been reported, there is a real danger of the agrophage entering and colonizing corn crops in the PRA area. The probability of entry, establishment, spread and potential impact of the agrophage on agricultural crops in the PRA area has been assessed as medium, due to reports of high yield losses coming from places where P. stewartii subsp. stewartii is present. However, in the PRA area there is a moderate likelihood of entry, establishment and spread of the agrophage. It is also not necessary to immediately undertake phytosanitary procedures against the agrophage.
