Each licensee is responsible for taking steps within 7 days after harvesting of the crop to ensure that any poppy material remaining on the land on which the crop was grown is destroyed by burning, slashing or cultivating or in any such manner as may be considered appropriate.
All growers have a responsibility as a condition of their licence to ensure any subsequent poppy regrowth on their property is destroyed.
Failure to do so could jeopardise the renewal of the grower's licence in future seasons.
