Resumen

Ultimo 2009 the Danish Plant Directorate was notified by another NPPO that a finding of Spodoptera litura could possibly be traced back to a consignment of plants delivered by a Danish producer. Intensive official inspections did not reveal any infected plants or any living moths or larvae at the premises of that Danish producer. However inspection of light traps in the greenhouse revealed 7 dead specimens of S.litura among other moth species indicating that there had been an outbreak which was successfully eradicated. It is suspected that the pest was introduced to the Danish nursery in 2009, and that the origin was from a south east Asian country.
