Plantwise: Sharing Plant Health
The Plantwise exhibit will demonstrate the Plantwise ICT innovations that Dr Washington Otieno will present in his breakout session.  Booth visitors will be able to interact with and explore the Plantwise Plant Doctor Simulator App and the Plantwise Factsheet Library App using Android tablets, On May 16 and 17, visitors will be able to see live demos of Plantwise e-plant clinics. This will allow visitors to experience directly how smallholder farmers receive the practical plant health advice they need to save their crop. Visitors will be invited to select a sick crop sample (e.g. tomato, maize, cucumber and others) and sit down with a real-life plant doctor from Kenya. The doctor will use a tablet running the Plantwise Factsheet Library App to make a diagnosis and provide treatment advice.

About CABI Plantwise
Plantwise is a global programme, led by CABI, to increase food security and improve rural livelihoods by reducing crop losses. This is achieved by establishing networks of plant clinics, where farmers can find practical plant health advice. Plant clinics are reinforced by the Plantwise Knowledge Bank, a gateway to plant health information, including diagnostic resources, pest management advice and pest distribution data. Plantwise provides farmers with the knowledge they need to lose less and feed more.
