“…In Tanzania, traditional storage options such as open barrels, jute or polypropylene sacks/bags, and Vihenge bins were commonly used before and during the COVID-19 pandemic [1,46]. The duration of grain storage typically ranged from three months to a year, depending on factors like crop quantity, storage capacity, and farmer preferences [1].…”

COVID-19 poses a significant threat to the present and future of mankind. The emergence of diverse strains during the pandemic creates uncertainty regarding their disappearance or resurgence. Lockdown measures and travel restrictions impact national and household food systems, hindering the movement of people and goods. Effective COVID-19 control requires science-based preventive measures and consideration of food availability. In Tanzania, resource-constrained farmers rely on the self-storage of food crops. Precise pest control information and tailored detection/storage systems are essential for preserving major staple foods such as maize and beans, which face frequent infestation by beetles and moths. Traditional methods used before the pandemic are insufficient compared to advanced global alternatives. This paper reviewed about 175 publications from different databases, dated from 1984 to 2023 (2023 to 2014 = 134, 2013 to 2004 = 26 and 2003 to 1984 = 15), assessing storage management for maize and beans. Identifying gaps between Tanzania and global advancements aiming to empower farming communities with the latest technologies and ensuring food security amid the pandemic.

“…The attempts to control insects have changed over time from chemicals to natural control methods [16]. Among the various natural control methods, biopesticides [17] and botanical extracts [18] have received considerable attention as a viable alternative to chemical pesticides. When these natural methods are used in place of conventional insecticides they can minimise environmental pollution, preserve non-target organisms such as natural enemies and delay insecticide-induced pest resistance [14].…”

Stem borers have been reported as the most injurious insect pests of rice among the insects that attack rice crop globally. Management of stem borers has been relied on the use of synthetic insecticides but has been ineffective due to the cryptic nature of the attack, disruption of environment and unaffordability to purchase insecticides by small-scale farmers. The attempts to control insects have changed over time from chemicals to natural control methods. Among the various natural control methods, biopesticides and botanical extracts have received considerable Original Research Article
