Notes:
- 😷 The risk group for Belgium has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "default: 1 plant pathogen - biological class of risk plant: 2; var. paspali: 1 plant pathogen - biological class of risk plant: 2". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "PP". — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "p". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
