Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the production and sale of peach nursery plants within the People's Republic of China. It specifically covers Prunus L. subgenus Amygdalus L. plants, including one-year-old plants, two-year-old plants, and bud nursery plants grafted on seedling or clonal rootstocks. It is mandatory for all domestic and international manufacturers selling these agricultural products in the Chinese market.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive quality criteria for peach nursery plants, categorized by plant age and rootstock type. It mandates strict requirements for variety and rootstock purity, which must meet or exceed a specific threshold. Compliance with these purity metrics is essential for market access. Physical parameters are heavily regulated, including lateral root characteristics (quantity, thickness, and length), stem diameter, plant height, and rootstock segment length. The standard also sets limits for stem gradient and specifies the minimum number of plump buds in the shaping strip. Any plant failing to meet the dimensional or botanical criteria for its designated grade is considered non-compliant. Phytosanitary requirements are strictly enforced. Plants must be free from specific soil-borne diseases such as crown gall disease, root-knot nematode disease, and root rot. Additionally, the branches and stems must be free from scale insects and gummosis. Strict adherence to these disease-free requirements is critical for passing quarantine inspections. Batch quality rules dictate that the proportion of qualified nursery plants in any given batch must not fall below a defined percentage. The standard also outlines specific tolerances for unqualified plants within Grade 1 and Grade 2 batches, ensuring consistent bulk quality across commercial shipments.
Testing methods
The standard outlines various inspection procedures to verify compliance. Pest and disease identification is conducted via visual inspection, microscopic examination, or inoculation culture methods. Variety purity is assessed based on botanical and biological characteristics. Dimensional metrics such as lateral root thickness and nursery plant diameter are measured using vernier calipers, while lengths and heights are measured with steel tape measures. Accurate measurement using calibrated instruments is mandatory for valid certification. Sampling procedures and quality determination rules follow the guidelines established in GB 9847 and GB 20464.
