Abstract		In order to prevent the introduction and spread to certain plant pathogenic quarantine bacteria through imports and domestic production in Slovenia, routine laboratory testing procedures for potato brown rot, potato ring rot and fireblight have been introduced. PCR technology is currently used in pathogen testing protocols for potato brown rot (Ralstonia solanacearum) and for grapevine phytoplasma and viruses. Problems and advantages of introducing and using PCR technology as a part of routine testing protocols in our specific situation, especially regarding potato brown rot bacteria, are presented.
