The use of plants for biological, pesticidal as well as medicinal
purposes has long history. In material-resource poor countries like
Tanzania where medical and veterinary facilities cannot satisfy
national demands, plants have played a big role in combating both
human and animal diseases. In addition, since the use of synthetic
pesticides in the control of pests is almost incompatible and
uneconomical, traditional practices incorporate the use of plants
as pesticides. Indigenous knowledge (IK) however has remained
unexploited with limited research and resources committed. The book
describes the findings of the research carried out in an attempt to
have detailed account of biological, pesticidal and medicinal
potentials of Tanzanian indigenous plants. This is just to ensure
that users have an understanding of the different biological
(antimicrobial, antioxidant, etc) and pesticidal activities of the
plants they use in a way to guarantee safety for them and their
livestock as well as for further industrial endavours in the
country.
