MANURE
1.Farmyard Manure
SOIL HEALTH
This is sourced from the cowsheds and poultry
houses and is a mixture of animal manure, urine,
fodder residues and bedding materials.
To process the manure;
i.Heap the animal waste at one location
ii.Cover it with twigs or bananas leaves
iii.Alternatively, pile the manure under the shade
iv.Ensure the pile is not rained on or hit by direct
sunlight
v.Let the heap decompose for a minimum of three
months before use. Source: G-BIACK
2.Bokashi Manure
Raw Metrials
Ørice or coffee husks - this is the main ingredient
Other ingredients;
ØQuarry dust,
ØCharcoal dust
ØBran
ØBaking yeast
ØWater
Source: G-BIACK
Note: If rice husks are unavailable, chop, sorghum
or maize stalks in small pieces or even grass
chippings. However, rice husks are a better raw
material because they decompose faster and
better.
The Process:
i.Add baking yeast to water in a drum
ii.Stur until the yeast particles are dissolved
iii.Pile all the other materials on top of each other Source: G-BIACK
iv.Start turning the materials as you apply the
mixtures of water and baking yeast.
v.Turn the materials for a minimum of 5 times then
turn it onces or twice per day for a minimum of 14
days.
Note:
Your Bokashi will be ready for use in 14-21 days.
TheBokashi must be used within 3 months.
Bokashi is only used as an amendment agent.

productivity.
MODE OF ACTION:
R-Fungalsol contains biological sulphur which is
nutritive in nature and it's uptake by the plant
is 100% unlike chemically produced anti
fungals whose uptake is only 30%.
Since plants do not consume chemicals by
nature, conventional antifungals makes plants
dependant on them and therefore highly
susceptible to all kinds of plant diseases.

REAL AMBLYSEIUS
CUCUMERIS
Hang sachets into the crop at rates of 0.25 – 1/m².
Suitable for use over the leaf petiole, or can be hung on crop
wires amongst foliage
TIMING OF APPLICATION:
Scout consistently and often. The best time to apply predatory
mites is before pest populations reach their peak, so early
application can increase their effectiveness.
Best results are obtained with temperatures between 20°C and
30°C.
Apply the product to crops as soon as night-time temperatures
reach 15°C, and daytime temperatures are higher than 20°C.
It is well suited to use in crops grown in warm conditions.
Earlier application, before temperatures are sufficiently high, can
reduce or prevent establishment.
Establishment will be most rapid on crops with ample pollen,
such as pepper crops, as the pollen provides an alternative, high
quality food source for the mites.
Crops without pollen will give slower establishment, but the use
of sachets to give continuous releases of mites over several
weeks will improve the results.
Mode of Action
Feeds on Thrips by piercing the victim by its chelicerae and sucks
out the prey’s body fluids.

Biopesticide Control Method for African Armyworm
1. Natural enemies:
Many birds, toads, lizards, small mammals, insects and spiders prey on the African armyworm at different
stages of its life cycle: Natural enemies are mainly:
1.1. Lacewings, predatory wasps, parasitic wasps, flies, and spiders attack armyworm caterpillars.
1.2. Night birds and bats feed on the African armyworm moths.
1.3. Birds (storks and crows) may decimate small outbreaks but have little influence on larger ones.
Conserve natural enemies by avoiding pesticides when natural enemy numbers are high enough to reduce
the whitefly population and by providing protective habitat (flowering plants).
2. Commercially available natural enemies are not available
3. Pathogens:
Only the use of Bacillus Thuringiensis is important in natural control of armyworms.
Products available are:
3.1. Halt Neo (Bacillus Thuringiensis)
4. Pheromones:

BioControl Methods for Diamondback Moth
1. Natural enemies:
Conserve natural enemies by avoiding pesticides when natural enemy numbers are high enough to reduce the whitefly population and
by providing protective habitat (flowering plants). Natural enemies are :
1.1. Birds (provide bird baths)
1.2. Spiders (provide rocks under which they can hide)
1.3. Lizards (provide rocks under which they can hide)
1.4. Ducks and chicken
1.5. Lacewings
1.6. Wasps (including parasitic wasps; Cotesia, Diadegma, Diadromus and Oomyzus)
Unfortunately, the locally existing wasps do not provide satisfactory control of the diamondback moth in eastern and southern Africa.
For this reason, two species of wasps (Diadegmasemiclausum and Cotesiaplutellae) were imported and released by ICIPE in Kenya,
Uganda and Tanzania. The former has provided almost complete control of this pest in highland growing conditions while the second is
specific to mid-altitude, semi-arid areas where it also provides good control.

Natural enemies:
Natural predators include

4. some spiders,
5. bats,
6. many kinds of birds,
7. frogs, and
8. some large mammals (aardvarks, pangolins and monkeys).
Despite the large number of predators, most termites are able to maintain high populations by means of mass
production of reproductive forms.
Conserve natural enemies by avoiding pesticides when natural enemy numbers are high enough to reduce the
whitefly population and by providing protective habitat (flowering plants). Natural enemies are mainly:
Commercially available natural enemies are not available Pathogens:
Control through pathogen application is generally
difficult because of their social nature and secure
enclosed environments that protect them against
most natural enemies. Preparations based on
insect-attacking nematodes and the fungi
Beauveriabassiana and two species of Metarhizium
are effective when applied into the mounds. Fungi
spores can act as repellents.

Biopesticide Control Method for Termites
Neem products reportedly have a repellent effect on termites.
Odontotermes spp. and Microtermesobesi were repelled from scarifying groundnuts pods lying in heaps on
the ground, by a layer of neem cake between the surface of the soil and the pods (Gold et al, 1989).
Neem oil and neem leaves reduced the weight loss of wood pieces exposed to termites.
Neem seed extracts have been used against Microtermes termites on trees and Odontotermes termites on
field crops with good results (Schmutterer, 2002).
No product is registered particular for the termites or ants.
However products registered for other insect pests are:
1. Fortune, Magneto, Nimbecidine, Ozoneem, Neemark, Achook (Azadirachtin)

BioControl Methods for Large Grainborer/ Weevils
The beetle Teretrius (formerly Teretriosoma) nigrescens, which is a specific predator of the larger grain
borer in Central America, has been introduced into Africa. The adult and the immature stages of this
beetle feed on eggs and larvae of the larger grain borer.
The predatory beetle has been released in Benin, Ghana, Guinea-Conakry, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania,
Togo and Zambia. It became well established and spread in most countries. However, despite the
successful introductions, there are still regular outbreaks of the larger grain borer and farmers still
suffer losses.
. Nevertheless this beetle has a role to play in
the management of the larger grain borer, as it
is able to reduce the density of the pest.

SUPER MARGO (SM)
Super Magro (SM) The Super Magro is

a bio-fertilizer or organic fertilizer that
comes from the decomposition of
organic material (plant and animal)
along with other components.
A fermentation process occurs, and
the result is liquid and solid matter.
The liquid residue is used as a natural
defensive and foliar fertilizer.
The added micronutrients are
materials required for metabolism,
growth and production of plants.
The Super Magro acts also as
defensive of the plants since it
contains a large number of micro-
organisms, which provoke great
competition and control between
them.
This allows the plant to increase
resistance against the attack of pests
and diseases.
