Labeling Requirement
In order to reduce the risk of citrus nursery stock being moved from a quarantined area, the LDAF has added a new labeling regulation. Any citrus nursery stock that is sold or moved into a parish that is quarantined must have a label attached to the plant or container with the following statement: PROHIBITED FROM MOVEMENT OUTSIDE OF THE CITRUS QUARANTINE AREAS Penalty for Violation, Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. (The labeling requirement is only for the Citrus Canker and Citrus Greening Quarantines. It is not required for the Asian Citrus Psyllid Quarantine) To avoid confusion with the citrus quarantines, a good rule thumb is to purchase citrus nursery stock from the parish in which you plan to grow it.
