Limited access to expert advice worsens these challenges, particularly in rural areas where smallholder farmers often struggle to find timely and accurate solutions.<\/p>\n<p>PlantwisePlus, in partnership with local and national organizations, is working to address these issues by improving access to agricultural advisory services and helping farmers manage pests and diseases that can cause significant crop losses. These services support farmers in adopting safer, more sustainable practices, enhancing their productivity and livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception, the plant clinic programme in Nepal has played a crucial role in diagnosing crop issues and providing management recommendations to strengthen local food security.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tLatest blogs\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.plantwise.org\/tag\/nepal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read all Nepal blogs &gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This is CABI\" width=\"100%\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hCPzzaAvWlQ?si=Iv1TkW5-N5avb9NB\"><\/iframe>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tResearch and publications\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tContact us\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/cabi-people\/mahesh-handiganala-munireddappa\/\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahesh.png\" alt=\"Mahesh\" itemprop=\"image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahesh.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mahesh-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"Mahesh\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/cabi-people\/mahesh-handiganala-munireddappa\/\"><strong>Mahesh Handiganala<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>PlantwisePlus Country Coordinator, Nepal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--StartFragment -->Crop Health Advisor<!--EndFragment --><\/p>\n<p>E: <a href=\"mailto:m.handiganala@cabi.org\">m.handiganala@cabi.org<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tCountries we work in\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tLearn more about PlantwisePlus\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Delivered through gender-sensitive and climate-resilient approaches, PlantwisePlus is tackling the challenges facing smallholder production through three impact pathways<strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/plantwiseplus\/about\/pest-preparedness\/\">Pest Preparedness<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/plantwiseplus\/about\/pesticide-risk-reduction\/\"><strong>Pesticide Risk Reduction<\/strong><\/a>, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/plantwiseplus\/about\/farmer-advisory\/\">\u00a0<strong>Farmer Advisory<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Nepal, PlantwisePlus and partners are working to improve access to agricultural advice, helping farmers manage pests and diseases that threaten crops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163,"featured_media":3035318,"parent":3030669,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"section":[3835],"pathway":[3852],"class_list":["post-3035313","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","section-plantwise-plus","pathway-pest-preparedness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
