N	Risk mitigation measure	Effect on the pest	Evaluation and uncertainties
1	Registration of production sites	Yes	As the plant passport is very similar to the EU one, the plants shall be free from quarantine pests and RNQPs. Uncertainties: – None.
2	Physical separation	No	Not relevant.
3	Certified plant material–	Yes	Seedlings could be a pathway for the nematode. The certification could have an effect on preventing the nematode to enter into the nurseries. Uncertainties: – None.
4	Growing media	Yes	Heat treatment and protection of the treated growing media is effective against the nematode. Uncertainties: – None.
5	Surveillance, monitoring and sampling	Yes	This assessment can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties: – The capability of detecting infections by the pest, especially in the case of early infections.
6	Hygiene measures	Yes	This assessment can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties: – The degree to which roots of weeds are examined for the pest.
7	Removal of infested plant material	Yes	This assessment can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties: – The degree to which roots of weeds are examined for the pest.
8	Irrigation water	Yes	Uncertainties: – None.
9	Application of pest control products	No	Not relevant. No nematicides are used in the nurseries.
10	Measures against soil pests	Yes	Separation of the pots from soil is effective against the nematode. Uncertainties: – None.
11	Inspections and management of plants before export	Yes	This assessment can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties: – The capability of detecting infections by the pest, especially in the case of early infections.
12	Separation during transport to the destination	No	Not relevant. The nematode cannot spread between the roots of the plants when transported to the EU.
