Apple maggot quarantine extended in Washington state
The quarantine prohibits the movement of homegrown or foraged fruit from the quarantined area into a pest-free area.
The WSDA clarified that the quarantine applies to municipal, compost, yard waste and green waste. Waste from a quarantine area must be taken to a waste facility also in the quarantine area.
Homegrown fruit has been included as well but must be processed, cooked, canned, juiced or dried before leaving the quarantine area.
