Foreword

This standard replaces GB 12743-1991, Plant quarantine rules for soybean seeds in producing areas.

GB 12743-1991, Plant quarantine rules for soybean seeds in producing areas, has been in force for more than ten years. The species of dangerous pests of soybean have since changed and inspection and quarantine techniques have developed and improved, so that the original rules no longer meet the needs of the development of soybean production; the original standard has therefore been revised. The revised standard adds Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean, a domestic quarantine pest newly announced in 1995, which is also a Category I quarantine pest for plants entering the country announced by China in 1993. At the same time, since Sclerotinia stem rot of soybean is a soil-borne disease and the seed itself does not carry and transmit the pathogen, it is no longer listed after the revision as a pest to be inspected. The integrated pest management measures have also been adjusted accordingly, and some new technical content has been added.

Annex B and Annex C of this standard are normative annexes; Annex A is an informative annex.

This standard was proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China.
