In a groundbreaking initiative, PlantVillage collaborated with the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) to train a team of agronomists in Kilifi County on Semi Autotrophic Hydroponics (SAH) cassava propagation technology.
The training, conducted by Mr. Stephen Khisa, a KEPHIS Technologist, was held at Elinah Sultani’s farm in Matsangoni, Kilifi North sub-county.
The sensitization was aimed at equipping PlantVillage Kilifi team agronomists with knowledge and skills related to the innovative SAH cassava propagation technology, ensuring rapid multiplication of clean cassava seed, increasing production of clean planting materials and management of cassava seed system.
