'''Plant quarantine''' is a technique for ensuring disease- and pest-free plants, whereby a plant is isolated while tests are performed to detect the presence of a problem.

==Administration==
===United States===
In the U.S., the [Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service](/source/Animal_and_Plant_Health_Inspection_Service) (APHIS) retains the plant quarantine function, although the agency's border-inspection function was transferred to the [Department of Homeland Security](/source/Department_of_Homeland_Security) (DHS) by P.L. 107-296.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Border Security: Inspections Practices, Policies, and Issues |url=https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL32399.html |access-date=2025-06-07 |website=www.everycrsreport.com |language=en}}</ref>
