Sammendrag

Sentinel plantings are a powerful tool to identify harmful organisms before they arrive in a country, but the use of this novel tool is limited by reduced awareness. Another limitation for the establishment of sentinel nurseries are plant health regulations that affect the import of planting material of alien species for use in sentinel plantings. However, import of propagation material is often considered low risk compared to rooted plants and more relaxed regulations may apply. Import regulations may vary among countries and special conditions for import for scientific purposes may apply. We aimed to make an overview of regulations for import and planting of propagation material for use in sentinel plantings in countries around the world. During 2016 a questionnaire survey was conducted in more than 40 countries around the world to identify national legislation on the import of seeds of exotic tree species and their use for scientific purposes in open-field situations. This study will provide an overview on regulations that need to be observed while sentinel nurseries are settled both using seeds for planting and trees grown from these seeds. The results will be a useful tool to facilitate the selection of locations for future sentinel nurseries.
