Second plenary talk by the NemaChap Laura Cortada (she/her) NemAfrica team. They took us all banana. But it’s neither the plant, nor the fruit. It’s the banana fiber paper and how these could sustainably be used to deliver low doses of nematicides to control a range of PPNs. #ESN2024

Currently in Uganda, the team is setting up banana paper trials to test the impact of this technology in the control of Plant Parasitic Nematodes! Many thanks to our partners on this project IFDC Makerere University BioInnovate Africa icipe IITA Solveig Haukeland NemaChap
