The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the soil-borne fungus
Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp.
albedinis
, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of date palm, for the EU. The identity of the pest is well
established and reliable methods exist for its detection/identi
fi
cation. The pest is listed in Annex IIAI of
Directive 2000/29/EC and is not known to occur in the EU.
Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp.
albedinis
is present
in Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania. Its major host is
Phoenix dactylifera
, which is the only
Phoenix
species known to be affected by the pest. Uncertainty exists about the host status of
Lawsonia inermis
,
Medicago sativa
and
Trifolium
spp. cultivated as intercrops in the infested areas and reported as being
symptomless carriers of the pest. The pest could potentially enter the EU on host plants and soil/growing
media originating in infested Third countries. The current pest distribution and climate matching suggest
that the pest could establish and spread in the EU wherever the host is present. In the infested areas, the
pest causes vascular wilt resulting in yield/quality losses and plant death. It is expected that pest
introduction and spread in the EU could impact date production. The pest is expected to have high
environmental consequences in the Elche area (Spain), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as
other EU areas where
P. dactylifera
is grown as an amenity tree. Current EU phytosanitary measures
are not fully effective at mitigating the risk of introduction and spread of the pest in the EU.
Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp.
albedinis
meets all the criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as potential
Union quarantine pest. As the pest is not known to occur in the EU, this criterion to consider it as Union
regulated non-quarantine pest is not met. [-]
