Plant Pest Programs

Under the provisions of the Mississippi Plant Act, the Bureau carries out plant pest programs designed to prevent the spread of destructive insects, diseases and other pests when plant material, machinery and carriers are transported. These programs include inspection, certification, quarantine and survey activities.
