Apple maggot quarantine may expand
|
By MAI HOANG
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC
The state Department of Agriculture will hold a hearing Thursday
on its proposal to expand the area in Yakima County quarantined for
apple maggots.
The department made the proposal after an apple maggot population
was detected in residential orchards in a nonquarantine area.
The maggots reproduce and live in apples. Fruit containing apple
maggots is considered infected and cannot be shipped.
The current quarantined area includes Yakima County residential
and commercial orchards, plus shippers in an area beginning 10 miles
west of the city limits of Yakima. ...
