Parthenium Hysterophorus L.) ON
i IMPACT OF PARTHENIUM WEED (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) ON PRODUCTION OF MAIZE AND COMMON BEANS IN ARUSHA, TANZANIA HAMIS DANIEL WAMBURA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CROP SCIENCE OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, MOROGORO, TANZANIA 2018 i EXTENDED ABSTRACT Introduction and spread of Parthenium hysterophorus is affecting crop production and farmer’s health. Impacts of this weed on crop production need be assessed and effective management measures be developed in order to reduce or prevent its effects. A study was therefore carried out in Arusha and Meru districts, to (i) describe the farmer’s perceptions about parthenium weed (ii) establish distribution and abundance of parthenium weed (iii) assess effective methods for parthenium weed control in maize fields. To achieve the above mentioned objectives, a field survey was conducted during the long rain season of 2017 in the study areas where 120 farmers growing maize and common beans were interviewed. List of villages and farmers were obtained from the district agricultural officers in the two districts. Three villages from Meru district (Mbuguni, Nasholi and Mareu) were selected randomly while Ilkerini, Losikito and Olorieni were randomly selected from Arusha district. Selection of 20 farmers from each village was also done randomly. On distribution and abundance of the weed, latitudes, longitudes and altitudes were recorded for every 10km intervals along the main arterial roads leading out of Arusha to Namanga, Kilimanjaro Airport, Mbuguni and Ilkerini using a hand-held GPS and simultaneously absence or presence and abundance were recorded. In order to identify effective methods to control the parthenium weed, a field experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (CRBD) with four replications at the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI) in Arusha.

Farmer Testimonials Chicken Vaccination N Tanzania.Pdf
Farmers in RIU networks in N. Tanzania benefit from increasing chicken populations Promotion Update: April 2011 Background: There are numerous constraints to increased indigenous chicken production by small- holder farmers in Tanzania. These include disease, predation, and lack of information on improved husbandry. Most farmers perceive chickens to have little value and leave them to freely range to scavenge for food. However, in the process, young chicks often fall prey to avian predators such as the hawk which may take up to 100% of young chicks. Any chicks that survive the predators often succumb to the Newcastle disease. Because farmers typically have a small number of chickens (less than 10), vaccination against the disease is not economic because vaccines are packed in doses of 400 for the larger commercial farmers. As a result, chickens Image: Aliapenda, a FIPS-Africa VBA has been saving are mostly kept as a hobby rather than a business. money from chicken vaccination to help her start a business. With the support of DFID’s Research Into Use programme (RIU), FIPS-Africa has established networks of self-employed Village-based Advisors (VBAs) in Moshi and Meru districts, trained by Ministry of Agriculture staff, with the aim of helping small-holder farmers gain access to the appropriate farm inputs, and information on their best management. In the process, VBAs generate income from a number of activities such as the sale of improved seeds and fertilizers. This income helps to sustain their activities They also offer services such as vaccination of indigenous chickens, and dyeing of chicks with Gentian Violet (GV) to prevent Image: A FIPS-Africa VBA demonstrating how to dye a chick predation by birds of prey.
