“…In spite of the large number of researches conducted on effectiveness of biopesticides (Rusdi & Rusaldy, 2023), hardly any evidence, especially in Zanzibar have been conducted and published. Zanzibar has always been renowned for producing exceptionally good spices and herbs such as cloves, cinnamon, cardamon and blackpepper (Mahenya et al, 2014). Most of these products are good sources of bioactive compounds which may provide inhibitory activity against pests.…”

This experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different types of local biopesticides to control diamondback moth (DBM) in cabbage production in Zanzibar. The experiment was conducted in horticulture farms at Zanzibar Agricultural Research Institute. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design, with 6 treatments and a control, each of which was replicated 3 times. The following plants were used as biopesticide which are garlic (T1), hot pepper (chilli) (T2), clove (T3), mixture of garlic and pepper (T4), mixture of garlic and clove (T5), synthetic insecticide (T6) and a control (T0). The parameters were evaluated by conducting initial data collection (before treatment) and final data collection (after treatment). The average number of leaves affected by DBM and yield in terms of average mass (kg) of cabbage were recorded. Results showed that T6 was significantly associated with a lowest average number of affected leaves and higher yield followed by T4 and T5. Overall, garlic-treated plots had recorded higher yield compared to the non-garlic treated plots. Therefore, garlic extract as local biopesticide can effectively repel DBM. This study recommends that garlic can be used as an alternative to using synthetic chemicals to control DBM in cabbage crop.

The names by which luxury items are marketed are often interpreted as names that trigger forms of mimesis. By considering the connections made through naming, products such as perfumes seem to be powerful metaphors for a particular lifestyle, wealth, and specific identity constructions, thereby obviously suggesting the possibility that through owning and using such products, clients can – for a while – become what is promised on the package. The names of perfumes and fragrances in postcolonial contexts, however, are semantically more complex. They refer to various locations, languages, and narratives, serving different purposes. This contribution examines the meanings of names in African perfumery practices in order to shed light on the different connections and relations they symbolize, the ritual contexts in which they are used, and the memory-making associated with both language and sensory experience.
