Plant Health Week 2023

Plant Health Week 2023, coordinated by Defra, will be held in the UK from Monday 8 to Sunday 14 May. It also coincides with the International Day of Plant Health on 12 May 2023 which is coordinated by FAO (UN). Both events are all about celebrating the benefits of healthy plants – to help to end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development.

For Plant Health Week 2023 we will be hosting a webinar on bacterial diseases which threaten our crops and food supply – find out more and register here. We will also be repeating our social media takeover using #HelpingKeepPlantsHealthy to show what our researchers are doing to contribute to improving plant health.
