Coleman-Derr Lab Awarded Grant from The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation

This research should have immediate impact for smallholder farmers by: 1) creating a cassava-specific framework to better anticipate pathogen outbreaks in the field; 2) identifying candidate microbial biocontrols of pathogens; and 3) evaluating whether “clean seed” systems currently used by Cassava farmers ultimately help or hurt cassava production.
