The 12th of May is the UN International Day of Plant Health, an opportunity to raise awareness on the importance of plant health in our daily lives. Many celebrations occur every year all over the world.

In 2020 the Plant Health TV video contest was organized by the International Center for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM-Bari) and the Euphresco network for phytosanitary research coordination and funding. 

The video, prepared by Stefania Gualano,  presents XylAppEU, a new field application that uses Android tablet for normalized field data acquisition. The app has been developed in the framework of the EU H2020 project 'XF-Actors' for use in the whole EU territory. It facilitates and harmonizes the work of inspectors in the monitoring of <em>X. fastidiosa</em> by enabling accurate geolocalization and acquisition of data on plants and insect vectors from monitored sites.
