Zachee Ngoko answers (sort of) Afiniki Bawa Zarafi’s about the CABI Global Plant Clinic’s work on taro leaf blight.
Taro blight (P. colocassiae) is still a threat to farmers and “Achu” and “Ekwan” consummers in Cameroon. In the Western Highlands (WHL) and South West regions, that crop is disappearing at an alarming rate. Eating habit is being shifted to rice or maize or others comodities. At this moment, after the primary works we carried with CABI, future activities are slow to come. If nothing is done, in the next few years, that crop will joint cowpea (for the WHL) in a closed cupboard. Can you contribute? Please contact us.
Is CABI listening?
