Excerpt:
Farmers’ knowledge and scientific evidence on pesticidal plants were transcribed during two workshops in 2013 and 2014 held at ICRAF’s headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. Farmers, technicians and scientists from southern and eastern Africa attended, sharing their knowledge and learning about best practices with regards to conservation, propagation and optimal use of pesticidal plants. (Anjarwalla et al., 2013, http://projects.nri.org/options).
This publication summarizes the outcomes from these workshops, bringing together current understanding and knowledge on the use of pesticidal plants for post-harvest storage of grains and legumes, as well as their use in crop production, particularly for smallholder farmers in southern and eastern Africa, with detailed information on 18 pesticidal plant species common in the region (http://projects.nri.org/options/background/plants-database).
It can serve as a technical reference, but can also be used to produce more targeted information briefs for farmers, nursery growers and to develop agricultural and conservation strategies.
Note: This resource was added to this database as part of a migration of resources from the now defunct CCRP Sphaera platform, and is still awaiting a comprehensive review and quality check.
