The infection in Csongrád-Csanád county was confirmed by the Nébih laboratory from samples taken from a 2 ha dessert and wine grape plantation. The sampling was carried out during a targeted surveillance of grapevines showing suspicious symptoms. In Hajdú-Bihar county, the official sampling was carried out based on a report from a resident of Debrecen. The examination also resulted in the laboratory detection of phytoplasma. Early detection and reporting are key to preventing the spread of the disease. Nébih would like to thank the public for their responsible attitude, which helps in the fight against the disease.

Golden yellow phytoplasma is a notifiable, quarantine pest

Nébih continues to call on grape growers to report any symptoms they experience as soon as possible to the relevant county government office or Nébih. If you encounter non-native pests or symptoms caused by them, you should immediately notify the plant health inspector of the relevant county government office and Nébih.
