The simulation application created by CABI\n‘Pest Diagnostic Simulator’ is a simulation-based learning tool that has been\nused in healthcare, aviation, and in military industries. It allows users to\ntest their plant pest and disease investigation skills. This can be done\nthrough multiple scenarios, gameplay, and real-time feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This application is a part of a global programme\n(Plantwise)\nled by CABI, which aims to contribute to food security by reducing crop losses.\nIt is used by 252 plant doctors at 163 plant clinics in 9 countries. The\napplication can deliver information, collect data, send messages to farmers,\nand is a network of experts and plant doctors who improve its diagnostic capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simulator teaches the basic concept of\nplant protection and prevention,\nproviding users with knowledge and ideas\nin a controlled setting. These skills can be applied in agriculture to build\nprofessional skills. Anyone using the application can help to diagnose common\nplant health problems using the unique 3D simulated scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presently, Plantwise\nand its applications have\nimproved plant health management globally for over 31 million smallholder\nfarmers. Regionally, many farmers are being encouraged to use CABI programmes\nlike plantwise\nin\norder to prevent crop\nloss and improve food security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
