ISF regulated pest list database

The ISF regulated pest list database provides scientific information on pests that are regulated on seeds with the aim of limiting the regulation of pests to those that are justified. This database is constructed on a thorough scientific assessment of whether seed is a pathway for the entry, establishment and spread of pests that are regulated. The database includes all types of regulated pests with the exception of invasive plants and noxious weeds. More information on the database here.
