Scale insects can cause up to 91% crop loss, often going unnoticed due to their small size and hidden location on plants.

In collaboration with Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service - Kephis parataxonomists from Uganda and Burundi have been trained to better detect and manage these pests, now posing a serious threat to export crops like avocado, mango, citrus, papaya, and pineapple.

Our Invasive Species Management scientists loved showcasing our biocontrol agents and the children had lots of fun using microscopes to spot our weevils for Azolla and Floating pennywort.

Meanwhile, colleagues from our PlantwisePlus team highlighted work on papaya mealybug, apple snail and fall armyworm, and our mycologists and pathologists were diagnosing plant diseases through microscopes at our Plant Doctor stand.

It was an excellent opportunity to share our research with the local community and demonstrate the breadth of our work at Imperial College's Silwood Park campus.
