Cotton Jassid Emergency Quarantine AB (002)

The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) adopts an establishment of emergency quarantine pursuant to Texas Agriculture Code, Chapter 71, Subchapter B (Quarantines Against Out-of-State Diseases and Pests), Section 71.004, which authorizes the TDA to establish an emergency quarantine without notice and public hearing when a public emergency exists involving the likelihood of introduction or dissemination of a dangerous insect pest threatening horticulture and agriculture in the state. This action is taken in response to the recent detection and spread of the two-spotted cotton leafhopper (also known as cotton jassid), Amrasca biguttula (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), an invasive pest causing significant damage to cotton crops and several other related crops in the southeastern U.S. states. This insect is native to Asia and has been recently identified in the U.S.

2023 April: First detection in Puerto Rico on cotton *first official record in the Western Hemisphere*. First detection at a private nursery in Juana Díaz, Rio Cañas Abajo, PR, on different types of cotton lines.

2023 May: Detection on eggplant and wild cotton in Santa Isabel, Boca Velázquez, Puerto Rico.

2024 November: First detection in Florida (Miami-Dade County on okra) *first record in continental United States*. Subsequent positive finds in Florida reported in more than 40 counties by September 2025.

2025 July: First detection in Georgia (Seminole County on okra). As of August 29, 2025, positives reported in 57 Georgia counties.

2025 July: First detection in Alabama (Henry County on cotton). As of August 28, 2025, positive detections in 17 Alabama counties.

2025 August: First detection in South Carolina (Charleston County, across multiple farms on okra, eggplant, sunflower, pigweed, and smartweed). As of August 12, 2025 Clemson University reported this insect now appears to be widely distributed and established throughout (at least) the lower half of South Carolina.

August 26, 2025: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension reported detection on hibiscus at Home Depot and Lowe's retail stores in North and South Louisiana.

August 28, 2025: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension reported detection on retail hibiscus in the following Texas locations: College Station, McAllen, Weslaco, Harlingen, Victoria, Cedar Park, Waco, El Paso, and Longview.

August 28, 2025: TDA began conducting market blitz inspections of retail box stores throughout the state.

August 29, 2025: Texas Nursery and Landscape Association (TNLA) posted an industry update reporting that "…Amrasca biguttula has recently been detected in Texas, traced to hibiscus shipments from out-of-state. This pest is already appearing in retail environments and poses a serious risk to ornamental plants and crops."

September 8, 2025: TDA announced in a press release immediate action in response to the detection of two-spotted leafhopper (Amrasca biguttula), on hibiscus plants shipped into Texas from Costa Farms and its subsidiaries in Florida.

As of September 22, 2025, TDA has conducted more than 400 inspections at nurseries in the state. Approximately 26 suspected samples have been collected during these inspections and were submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for identification. Two samples have been reported positive, one negative and one inconclusive due to shipment damage to the specimen. TDA is continuing routine nursery floral and quarantine inspections with special vigilance for the concerned pest.

Infested hibiscus plants have been found at big box retail outlets and nurseries in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Texas, raising concerns about spread through commercial plant movement. The pest poses an imminent threat to Texas cotton production, a critical agricultural sector valued at over $1.5 billion annually, due to its rapid reproduction and potential for "hopperburn" damage leading to yield losses up to 50% in infested fields.

The department believes it is necessary to take immediate action to prevent the artificial spread of the two-spotted leafhopper into Texas. The establishment of quarantine areas on a temporary basis is both necessary and appropriate in order to effectively contain, combat and eradicate all infestations of two-spotted leafhopper. The Texas nursery floral and cotton industry producers’ chances of becoming infested increase significantly without this emergency quarantine. Once infested, producers would have to bear the treatment expense to ship regulated articles to non-infested areas of Texas and other states.

Effective Date: This quarantine takes effect immediately upon the date of publication of emergency quarantine, and remains in force until rescinded or modified by TDA following assessment of pest distribution and control measures.

Pest Description:

The two-spotted cotton leafhopper (Amrasca biguttula) is a small (3-4 mm), pale green insect with yellowish-green wings marked by two distinct black spots on the head and forewings (spots may fade in older adults). Nymphs are wingless, pale green, and highly mobile. Adults and nymphs feed on plant sap from the undersides of leaves, injecting toxins that cause "hopperburn"--initial yellowing at leaf tips and margins, upward curling/cupping of leaves, followed by rapid reddening, browning, and necrosis. Severe infestations lead to defoliation, stunted growth, and reduced boll set in cotton, mimicking nutrient deficiencies or spider mite damage. The pest has multiple generations per year (up to 20-30 in warm climates), with eggs laid in leaf tissues and a life cycle of 7-14 days under Texas summer conditions.

Regulated Articles: All living hostable nursery plants and articles capable of harboring or disseminating the two-spotted cotton leafhopper are regulated, such as any container, equipment, or container media or soil associated with the hostable plants.

Quarantined Areas:

All counties in Texas with confirmed detections of the two-spotted cotton leafhopper as of September 1, 2025 based on current inspections and surveys. TDA will maintain an updated list of quarantined areas on the TDA Plant Quality website (texasagriculture.gov/Regulatory-Programs/Plant-Quality/Quarantines).

Movement into Texas from infested areas outside the state; southeastern states like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina is prohibited unless the following conditions for movement are met:

Conditions for Movement:

Certification: Accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by an authorized official from the state/country of origin, confirming the articles are free of the pest based on visual inspection or treatment. Certificate must include origin, destination, commodity, and pest-free declaration.

Treatment: Articles must be treated in accordance with TDA-approved methods or USDA approved treatments, such as:

Insecticidal dip or spray using EPA-registered products effective against leafhoppers.

Exemption: Shipments for scientific, research, or immediate processing purposes may be allowed with prior TDA and/or USDA approval and under containment protocols.

Movement violations are subject to Texas Agriculture Code penalties, including fines up to $4,000 per violation, seizure, destruction of articles at owner's expense, and potential criminal charges.

TCEQ Seeks Stakeholder Input on Upcoming Rulemaking Related to Occupational Licensing

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) will conduct a virtual stakeholder meeting on October 20, 2025, to solicit informal comments on rulemaking for 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 30, Occupational Licenses and Registrations.

This rulemaking is the result of two related petitions approved at the November 20, 2024 (Non-Rule Project Number 2025-005-PET-NR) Commissioner's Agenda, legislative updates from the 89th legislative session, and staff recommended changes. The petitions seek to require continuing education (CE) ethics training for renewal of all levels of public water system and wastewater operator licenses. The petitioners requested that four hours of ethics training be required in each renewal cycle, which is every three years, and be counted towards the 30 CE credits already required to renew a license. The rulemaking will also implement Senate Bills (SB) 1080 and 1818 and House Bills (HB) 5629 and 1237 from the Texas 89th Legislative Session. SB 1080 amends the automatic revocation of licenses following a felony conviction. SB 1818 and HB 5629 amend the process for military service members, veterans, and military spouses applying for a reciprocal license. HB 1237 allows licensees to renew their license up to 180 days past expiration.

Virtual Stakeholder Meetings

Stakeholder meetings are an opportunity for the public to provide informal comments to staff prior to the start of formal rulemaking. While staff will review all comments received, the TCEQ will not formally respond to any informal comments.
