Tomato farmers in Southeast Asia can lose 100% of their crops due to diseases and wet soils. The World Vegetable Center (AVRDC) researched grafting as a possible technical solution to these constraints through a series of projects funded by DFID and other donors in the early 1990s, when the department also supported the establishment of an International Bacterial Wilt Symposium in 1992.
