Wherever you are, browse our library of clear, practical and safe advice for tackling crop problems. Download factsheets for your country* and access them anytime, on- or offline.



We’ve created the PlantwisePlus Factsheet Library app so that Plant Doctors, extension workers and farmers can have free access to the full range of the most up-to-date, relevant material with the safest advice, on mobile devices. The app will periodically check our servers for updates to factsheets so it’s possible to keep you informed about what experts consider to be today’s safest and most effective management techniques.



The app is available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Swahili.



COUNTRY PACKS



Download a country pack to access relevant crop health content which can then be accessed offline. You can choose to download a pack with or without images depending on your internet connectivity and available device storage.



FACTSHEETS



PlantwisePlus factsheets are written by partners in PlantwisePlus countries specifically for farmer needs. They give a quick outline of how to recognize a crop problem, background information, and step-by-step instructions on how to manage the issue. Factsheets may go into detail about one particular management technique or may list several practices. Every factsheet is supported by images to help visualise the problems and solutions.



Factsheets are reviewed by local farmers in the countries where they are written to ensure the information is easy to understand and practical to use. They are also validated by technical reviewers to check that the recommendations are safe and follow approved scientific principles.



PLANTWISEPLUS



PlantwisePlus is a global programme, led by CABI, to increase food security and improve rural livelihoods by reducing crop losses. We work with countries to provide good advice to farmers at local plant clinics, and now this advice is available in your factsheet library wherever you go.
