The aim of this project was to evaluate technologies relating to bacterial wilt and seed-tuber production systems to improve potato seed health. Areas addressed were (1) biocontrol agents against bacterial wilt, including the approval of a biological control agent (BCA) for testing in Kenya, and (2) small-scale seed-tuber (SPSS) production system for trialling and the monitoring of pests in Uganda. Recommendations were made for further research and testing.
