Box Tree Moth Best Management Practices for Growers

Please download the box tree moth (BTM) Best Management Practices (BMPs) developed in collaboration with nursery growers, CNLA, LO, OMAFRA and the University of Guelph.

Note that these BMPs continue to evolve as we learn more about the science of the pest and regulatory framework in both Canada and the USA.

We believe the BMPs and the BTM pest modules that are being developed for CNCP and Clean Plants facilities in Canada will ultimately support the long-term trade of Buxus, Ilex and Euonymus plants while minimizing introduction and spread of BTM.

We encourage all facilities with host plants in production to follow the recommendations provided.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments regarding BTM or the BMPs.
