Kicking off day 2 of a 3-day Training of Trainers on Triple S and Double S technologies for Orange-Fleshed #Sweetpotato.

#TripleS not only increases yield but it also ensures availability of early planting materials for the next season and therefore an early harvest of OFSP! 🍠

Farmers can lose up to 60% of their yields due to sweetpotato viruses and pests.

That’s why at the GROWING Project Training of Trainers this week, we raised awareness on the warning signs to look out for and good management practices to minimise loss.
