What must be done if nursery stock is found to be non-compliant?

If nursery stock is found to be non-compliant, the appropriate action is to take civil action to address the issue. This approach underlines the importance of adhering to regulations governing nursery stock, which are in place to ensure the safety, health, and quality of plants being produced and sold. Non-compliance can affect not just the business involved, but also public health, agricultural practices, and the environment.

By pursuing civil action, the responsible parties can work to rectify the situation through proper channels, which may include fines, remediation measures, or seeking legal remedies as appropriate for the specific violations. This method emphasizes accountability and encourages compliance with established regulations, rather than simply taking a short-term solution like discarding the stock or selling it at a discount, which do not contribute to correcting the underlying issues.
