“…Storage of harvested produce of any kind is important for food conservation and management (Yallappa et al, 2011). It has been recognized that plant species play an important role in the preservation of harvested produce by exerting pesticidal properties and or biological activity against a wide range of pests (Khatun, 2011;Ogbaji and Osuman (2011). Neem (Azadirachta indica) materials among others have been well reported by many researchers as grain protectants against grain storage insects (Jilani and Su, 1983;Yadar, et al, 2007;Khatun et al, 2011).…”

Ethnobotanical study on the plant species used for storage was carried out within forty communities in Bayelsa State. Eight plant species belonged to six different families were identified as botanicals valued for storage and preservative purposes, most of which are herbs. The result revealed that the plant species identified were alleged to be safe, available and exhibit different growth habits. However, two of the species (Braschystegia nigerica and Xylopia aethiopica) are trees, and are rare as they served other primary uses. Different sections of the plant species were extracted for storage purposes, and members of Marantaceae were the most exploited for storage. As the pattern of plants use among locals becomes ecologically unsustainable, there is a need to document the floras use for storage purposes and determine their abundant status in the State.

“…It is important to note that agricultural extension services are more accessible to male farmers than rural women farmers in Nigeria. Osuman (1997) reported that staff of agricultural extension services are mostly men, and are tend to giving help to men. Morna (1989) reported that agricultural extension workers interact with men in their visit to rural areas, and not women in Malawi, they interact with men on areas of improved technologies, and access to agricultural inputs.…”
