Rapid growth in trade of agricultural products has increased the risk of introduction of exotic pests into new area. In order to fulfill quarantine obligations, several treatments are in practice: fumigation with methyl bromide (MB), application of extreme temperatures, controlled atmospheres, and combinations of them. Although MB was most effective and widely applied for quarantine treatment, its use was banned by the Montreal Protocol. Ionizing irradiation phytosanitary treatments – gamma radiation, electron beam, and X-ray are being used as an alternative to MB currently. For applying ionizing irradiation as a quarantine treatment, there is a research protocol which should be followed, International Standards for Phytosanitary Measure 18 [ISPM #18] and Phytosanitary Treatment Regulation of Korea (Notice 2014-35).
We have evaluated the effect of gamma radiation, electron beam, and X-ray on H. armigera as quarantine treatments. In this presentation, ISPM #18 and Notice 2014-35 will be talked with the example of H. armigera.
