The Department may also establish the conditions for the production of Brassicaceae including rapeseed, for the general protection of the horticultural, agricultural or forest industries of Oregon by excluding from established control areas Brassica spp. or rapeseed plants that if, not managed in accordance with these rules, may be a menace to such areas and generally to horticultural, agricultural or forest industries.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P> Stat.
