Alashankou port, which is located in the New Eurasian Continental Bridge(west bridgehead of the section within china), is an unique first class national port with oil pipeline, railway and highway. It has been recognized not only for its largest freight volume, fastest growing speed and best cost-effective captured in Northwest of China, but also its decisive role position in Xinjiang’s export-oriented economy,even the whole China. Alashankou port works all year. The value of entry and exit plant products accounted for 8 percent of the total. The trend in species, number of entry and exit plant products as well as the value of trade gradually increased with the faster speed of export-oriented economy; however,Biological invasion has caused economic loss more than 50 billion RMB, and also threatened the stability of ecological and biological diversity seriously. Therefore, the study in status of plant quarantine is essential and impotant.Objectives: In order to have a good knowledge of the status of plant quarantine in Alashankou port,existed problems, the Countermeasures and provide convenience to the entry and exit trade by analyzing the data from 2006 to 2010, also the theory and practice basis for this work.Methods: Data statistical analysis was applied to calculate detection rates of pests and quarantine pathogen, insect and weeds in import plant products from five central Asian countries and Russia.Results: In current, there are five main trade countries, such as Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Russia,Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. The highest detection rates of harmful organisms in plant products is Kazakhstan,intercepted 392 lots was accounted for 46.83% of the total. The entry and exit plants products are mainly wood, cotton, wheat, silkworm cocoon, etc. The number of imported products was decreased, but the species become more diverse. The detection and identified system of log was relatively completed;Imported cotton has a low detection rates, 0.07% in 2009 and 0.03% in 2010.The detection rates of harmful organism increased to 11.24% contrasted to 2.13% in 2006.There are some quarantine pests and weeds, codling moth, IPS, Xanthium sibiricum(non Chinese) as well as a large number of common storage pests and weeds. Only Nosema bombyois was detected in 2009 as quarantine pathogen. This is mainly limited by the laboratory equipments, personnel and other conditions.Conclusions: The present problems was listed: 1) the remote location and the lack of plant quarantine personnel, outdated technology, make detection ability insufficient; 2)firstly species of alien invasive species growing; 3) for different kinds of goods and countries, the quarantine is lack of pertinence; 4) the set of departments mechanism is unreasonable; 5) passengers on plant quarantine awareness is weak; 6) the attention to potential disease outbreaks is not enough, etc. With reference to the findings of predecessors,the article puts forward 7 countermeasures, namely: 1) strengthen the plant construction inspection personnel, enhance laboratory testing capabilities; 2) strengthen plant products throughout the process of quarantine management; 3) the corresponding quarantine should highlight the key plant product category;4) quarantine supervision should be prominent national areas; 5) establishing quarantine objects the risk of major designated ports of entry; 6) the set of departments mechanism based on the kind of goods; 7)strengthening the propaganda, increasing public awareness; 8) Establish the big data, attention to the new situation of epidemic diseases.
