Ohio's green industry is one of the highest-value segments of the state's agricultural sector.  The Plant Pest Control Section helps protect the state's nurseries and growing stock by performing inspections to detect pests that pose a threat to plants.  The inspections increase the likelihood of consumers receiving pest-free plants and help prevent the introduction of new pests.  The section enforces provisions of various federal and state quarantines that restrict the movement of articles capable of harboring targeted pests.  The section also provides inspections and Phytosanitary certificates for shipments of grain, seed, logs, lumber, greenhouse plants, and other agricultural commodities destined for other state and foreign markets.  The section also performs exotic pest surveys and takes steps to eradicate harmful new pest infestations when necessary.
