Improving diagnostics and resistance to potato bacterial wilt disease. Project profile.

While demand for potatoes is expanding throughout sub-Saharan Africa, productivity is still limited by a lack of clean, disease-free planting materials. This project seeks to boost food security and incomes among smallholder potato farmers by tackling one of their chief constraints-bacterial wilt disease-through introducing better disease detection tools and enhanced genetic resistance.
