Abstract:

Plant quarantine organisms have emerged as an important issue that not only posesa significant threat to crops but as an issue that affects the environment and society as a whole. From this point of view, a management approach that will focus on the preparation, the preparedness, and the ability of interested parties and the society, in general, to secure against the entrance of a quarantine organism or react fast and implement appropriate measures to eradicate the quarantine organism if entered in a new area, is required. As a number of measures must be continuously implemented by many people, including public administration, environmental management systems that can adapt according to specific circumstances are proposed as a powerful tool for the control of plant quarantine organisms.
