Excerpt from A Reference Guide to Federal Plant Quarantines and Regulations Administered by the Agricultural Quarantine Inspection Division Since its beginning in 1912, the plant quarantine system has saved farmers and consumers millions of dollars by reducing sharply the rate at which destructive plant pests have gained entry into this country from other lands. In recent years, however, the growing volume of foreign travel, the speedup in transpor tation, and the multiplication of international ports (including interior air ports and St. Lawrence Seaway ports for ocean-going vessels) have increased the danger that harmful pests may be inadvertently brought into this country unless additional precautions are taken. Magnitude of the danger is revealed by the large volume of plant pests currently being intercepted by Plant Quar antine Inspectors. Pests capable of causing millions of dollars worth of damage are being intercepted and stopped at the rate of one entry every 12 minutes. This Guide has been prepared for State and Federal employees, foreign service officers, transportation workers, garden and farm organization officers, and other educational leaders. Its purpose is to assist them in helping travelers and commercial importers comply with quarantine regulations.
