The department administers and enforces several plant pest quarantines that affect interstate and international movement of agricultural commodities, as well as weed quarantines to prevent the spread of invasive species. These quarantines were adopted to prevent the introduction of pests that are not established in Montana and to protect Montana agricultural commodities and native plant species.
