Stage of InnovationStage 4: uptake by next user
Year (Stage)2019
Stage Description3 NARS have been applying the technology to identify viruses affecting important food crops: Mikocheni Agricultural Research Institute (Tanzania) for bean viruses; Gulu University (Uganda) and Crop Research Institute (Ghana) for sweetpotato viruses. Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (Kenya) is planning to use the technology for sweetpotato viruses.
