Advancing Plant Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Understanding National Agricultural Research Institutions capacities for Strategic Investment Priorities to Boost Genetic Gains Against Crop Biotic Stress

2026-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Plant health research within National Agricultural Research and Extension Systems (NARES) represents a critical yet neglected pillar of agricultural resilience in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where crop productivity remains substantially below global averages due to persistent biotic and abiotic stresses. Although plant health units have a strategic mandate to support crop protection, disease surveillance, and variet...
