The timely and accurate detection of crop dieseases supports their control. For banana bunchy top disease such detection also enables roguing to limit field inoculum density and selection of healthy materials for seed multiplication. Digital tools are a new frontier to support field diagnosis or disease detection and are especially useful for invasive species whose symptoms are new and not yet well known to farmers. Here, we tested the efficiency and access of farmers to a digital tool for banana disease detection (TUMAINI), and assessed some gender linked Le présent travail évalue l'efficacité de TUMAINI (smartphone App.) dans la détection de la maladie du BBTD dans diverses conditions d'utilisation. Pour être efficaces, ces outils doivent être adaptés aux conditions des agriculteurs.
