Based on an evaluation of the publications of the Journal für Kulturpflanzen and its predecessor journals up to the first issue in 1921, the development of the discipline of plant health over the last 100 years is traced. Already in the first volume, plant health regulations can be found as well as information on the quarantine pest potato wart (Synchytrium endobioticum), which is still relevant today. Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and San José scale (Comstockapsis perniciosa) are in focus in the 1930 s and in the post-war period. Potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis) and potato bacterioses (Ralstonia solanacearum, Clavibacter sepedonicus) as well as fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) gain importance in the later years. At the turn of the millennium, increasing attention is also paid to harmful organisms in forests or urban green areas (e.g. Anoplophora glabripennis, Dothistroma pini). With the evaluation, developments can be shown that still determine the plant health system today. Surveys and pest risk analyses are important elements in this context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Euphresco was established as a phytosanitary ERA-Net during the ERA-Net Scheme that was implemented during the 6. Research Framework Programme of the European Commission. Since 2014, Euphresco runs as a self-sustainable network without funding through the European Commission with currently 70 partners from 50 states. Main task of Euphresco is the initiation of transnational projects on phytosanitary problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the new plant health Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 coming into force on 14th December 2019, the requirements for surveys of regulated pests for the Member States of the European Union increased significantly. The survey activities in the Member States are supported by the European Commission by the co-financing system implemented in 2015. By this a financial contribution up to 50% of the accumulated costs of the surveys of selected pests can be requested of the European Commission. For executing the entire obligatory future surveys, especially new methods and technologies will be necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
