African Dryland Alliance for Pesticidal-Plant Technologies ADAPPT 2 years of experiences of the project: results achieved ACP S&T Brussels 28 th October Professor Philip C Stevenson

ADAPPT Overall objectives strengthen S & T capacity of African programmes to exploit pesticidal plants Optimise use of pesticidal plants for poor farmers. establish a research network: scientists to farmers. develop platform for marketable products A network for optimising & promoting indigenous botanical knowledge for food security and poverty alleviation in Africa

Constraints of synthetic pesticides – in Africa Environmental impacts Toxicity Cost adulterated products pesticide resistance

Farmers have to use something

Low cost Sustainable Low toxicity & persistence Can’t be adulterated Pesticidal plants Unprocessed materials requiring rudimentary preparation Highly suited to small scale farmers Isman, 2008 Ann Rev Entomol.

Outputs address ACP S&T objectives Output 1 Output 1 African pesticidal plant network established Output 2 Output 2 C Capacity building through applied research Output 3 Output 3 Ensuring sustainable use of target species Output 4 Output 4 Production & marketing policy developed. Output 5 Output 5 Communication & dissemination platform

OBJECTIVES of ACP S&T 1 Strengthen S&T capacity of ACP countries to support research, development and innovation in ACP region i nstitutional, administrative & policy. academic research & technology. business & civil society. Output 2 C Capacity building through applied research Output 3 Sustainable use of target species (propagation, livelihoods & conservation) Output 4 Production & marketing policies developed

OBJECTIVES of ACP S&T 2 Promote interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable development along 3 axes: Co-ordination & networking in applied research. Instruments for collaborative research. Management of research activities and reinforcement of research. Output 1 African pesticidal plant network established Output 5 Communication & dissemination platform (research papers, www, conference)

Inception meeting - Pretoria, South Africa Jan 2010 Targets, action plans and network strategies Output 1 Pan-African pesticidal plant research network established Malawi Zimbabwe Zambia South Africa Ghana Kenya United Kingdom Pan- African Tanzania

7 Country networks 30+individuals/country ADAPPT Networking ADAPPT Networking External advisory board ADAPPT & Project Leader ZimGhanaZambia Kenya TanzaniaMalawiRSA Country leaders Secondary links Primary links

National meetings held in 7 African countries Identify issues and feed info to ADAPPT network Training priorities Knowledge about local plant species Complementary skills identified New partnerships made Technical limitations identified. Output 1 Pan-African pesticidal plant research network established

New partnerships e.g., Sokoine University (Tanzania) Mzuzu University (Malawi) NRI UK new pesticidal plants & residues on stored grain. Copper Belt University (Zambia) RBG, Kew (UK) chemistry of non-timber woods for pest control Egerton University (Kenya) ICIPE (Kenya) University of British Columbia (Canada) on essential oils in pest control Output 1 Pan-African pesticidal plant research network established 1 2 3

Networking (and communication) Symposium on economically useful plants, Zambia June 2010 – 150 delegates 4 presentations by ADPPT network African Crop Science Soc. conference, Mozambique, Oct 11 – 500 delegates Pesticidal Plant workshop hosted by ADAPPT - 50 participants 8 presentations + 3 posters by ADAPPT partners Identified and discussed key areas for research Optimisation Commercialisation Conservation Output 1 Pan-African pesticidal plant research network established

Training of post graduate students Evaluation and analysis of pesticidal plant materials. 1 MSc (Uni of Greenwich) student passed & returned to Ghana as University lecturer 2 PhD students (Uni of Greenwich) MSc students research at University of Zimbabwe, University of Zambia and Mzuzu University (Malawi). Output 2 Capacity building & training and knowledge exchange MSc research at University of Zambia

Training of post grads in micro-propagation - 14 participants 3 day laboratory course - Zambia, Jan Output 2 Capacity building & training and knowledge exchange

Training for participants in Zambia, Jan Scientific writing Biological evaluation of plant materials Preparation of proposals for funding 5 proposals written among network partners McKnight Foundation, DelPHE (British Council) CIFSR (Canadian Intl Food Security Res. Fund) PAEPARD (European Partnership in Agric Res and Dev) CSEF (Civil Society Environment Fund) Training to be repeated Tanzania (Dec 2011) Ghana (Jan-Jun2012). Output 2 Capacity building & training and knowledge exchange

Validate activity Which chemicals active? Determine variations in efficacy/chemistry Optimise application Tephrosia vogelii Kamanula et al Intl. J Pest Manage Nyirenda et al Afr. J Agr Res. Chemical analysis & biological evaluation of Tephrosia vogelii to control bruchid beetles in cowpea – applied research training Plants (%) reportedly used in Malawi for pest control (n=167)

Fig 1b HPLC chromatogram of T. vogelii chemotype 2 tephrosin Z-tephrostachin 4 & 5 31 & 26 Obovatin 5-methylether rotenone toxicarol sarcolobine deguelin Fig 1a HPLC chromatogram of T. vogelii chemotype 1 tephrosin Z-tephrostachin 4 & 5 31 & 26 Obovatin 5-methylether rotenone toxicarol sarcolobine deguelin flavones rotenoids Chemotype 1 Chemotype 2 Chemical analysis of T. vogelii revealed 2 chemotypes time Amount of compound

Mortality (%) of bruchids on cowpea treated with T. vogelii chemotypes 1 & 2 (after 48h)

For field use - plants extracted in water & applied with a knap sack sprayer. But active rotenoids are not soluble in water Typical extraction of T. vogelii for field use

Extraction of rotenoids from T. vogelii for field use is improved with liquid soap Methanol extract 5% Soap 1% Soap Water (Farmers extract) Rotenoids

Simple improved technology Muslin bag extraction with liquid soap + Plant material + soap in muslin sac hung in sprayer. Optimises extraction prevents nozzle clogging.

Field trials Malawi Tanzania Zambia

Storage trials Malawi Tanzania Zambia

Some plants scarce & need cultivating but may have Low germination Slow seedling growth. Rapid loss of viability Propagation criteria developed for Bobgunnia madagascariensis Harvesting protocols for plant species SAFIRE handbook published on ADAPPT site Output 3 Sustainable production of pesticidal plants Thokozani et al., 2011 Afr. J. Biotech

Microprop of Securidaca longepedunculata Zulu et al Afr J. Biotech. Output 3 Sustainable production of pesticidal plants High CO 2 atmosphere optimises growth If plantlets in vermiculite can produce roots can be planted out directly for transfer to farmers

Policy recommendations via desk study – looking at Best practices & case studies Farmer production Marketing networks Marketing hurdles Bio-safety issues Product Registration. Output 4 Production and marketing of pesticidal plants

variation in efficacy problematic – quality control needed before up-scaling opportunity for wide-scale promotion as commercial products for SMEs selling of PPs can not be formalised without changes to regulatory hurdles Output 4 Production and marketing of pesticidal plants Outcomes (so far)

Way forward framework exists to enable production of PPs registration not complicated - but providing data and information is expensive raw material supply remains a challenge investment in development, promotion and awareness raising needed Output 4 Production and marketing of pesticidal plants

Papers published in international journals Attendance of scientific symposia International conference planned for Year 3 Proceedings to be published in a special issue of Crop Protection & Bipesticides Internl. ADAPPT network website Information bulletins policy briefs plant database Output 5 Communication & dissemination platform for pesticidal plant knowledge
