Full text
6. Where an inspector has reasonable cause to believe that a disease or destructive insects are affecting plants and are likely to spread, he may require the owner or custodian of the premises where the plants are found to apply any treatment or take any measure he considers appropriate, in particular, segregation of the plants affected, treatment of the soil, and disinfection of the premises, of the equipment and of any vehicle that has been used to transport the plants or that could spread the disease or the insects.
A written notice to that effect from the inspector shall be delivered in person, by bailiff or by registered or certified mail to the owner or custodian of the premises where the plants are found and, where applicable, to the owner or custodian of the vehicle. The notice must specify the obligations of the owner or custodian and the manner in which and the time within which they are to be performed.
