Table 16.
Assessment of the likelihood of pest freedom following evaluation of proposed risk mitigation measures against selected relevant pests on Pinus parviflora bonsai plants grafted on Pinus thunbergii designated for export to the EU. In panel A, the median value for the assessed level of pest freedom for each pest is indicated by ‘M’, the 5% percentile is indicated by ‘L’ and the 95% percentile is indicated by ‘U’. The percentiles together span the 90% uncertainty range regarding pest freedom. The pest freedom categories are defined in panel B of the table
