Data was collected by means of questionnaire from a total of two hundred and forty randomly selected farmers . The data was computer-analysed using the software Minitab, a statistical package. The study revealed that smallscale farmers in the villages selected for the investigation have started to use botanical chemicals as alternative to the use of toxic synthetic agrochemical. A chi-square of 23.64 showed a statistical significance (P= 0.05) in the usage of indigenous plant materials (IPMs) as insecticides in the storage of planting seeds of guinea corn, maize and cowpea. About 58.82% of the small-scale farmers in the study indicated that they had used Azadirachta indica solution extracted from fermented leaves to control cowpea pests in the field. About 20.58% of the farmers interviewed stated that they had used Sesbania rostrata alley-cropped maize to reduce the population of parasitic nematodes found in the soil. It is recommended that further research work be conducted to discover more information on these indigenous plant materials. The ultimate aim would be to encourage a large number of smallscale farmers to adopt the usage of these indigenous plant materials which have been found to be effective, cheap and readily available.","PeriodicalId":151323,"journal":{"name":"Indilinga: African Journal of Indigenous Knowledge Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123746324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reports on findings of a study that investigated the traditional perspectives regarding infertility. The study was conducted using qualitative research methods with five traditional healers who were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews and content analysis was used. Participants indicated that patients had different reasons for wanting to procreate, and when conception does not take place, often women are the ones to blame. There are also perceived consequences of being childless. They fall under different categories, such as, social, economic and health. The findings of the study revealed that the etiology of infertility was attributed to three major factors, these are, biomedical, traditional and supernatural. When patients consult traditional healers for treatment, diagnostic strategies are employed and the necessary treatment is prescribed. Where such healers realize that the patient’s condition is complex and beyond their assistance they refer the patient to other traditional healers, faith healers or western-trained health practitioners.","PeriodicalId":151323,"journal":{"name":"Indilinga: African Journal of Indigenous Knowledge Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116911418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reports on the findings of a study that was aimed at establishing how indigenous knowledge can be preserved and transferred and its interaction with social capital for the purposes of community development. The study was carried out using qualitative research methodology. The research was conducted in Mhakwe Ward, Chimanimani in Zimbabwe in 2006. The main methods employed for the research were observations, in-depth interviews, secondary data (historical documents) and life histories. The main findings pointed to the fact that transfer of indigenous knowledge could only be achieved through incorporating indigenous knowledge into the normal systems of ‘modern’ leanings like schools. This is because the young generation spends most of their time at these ‘modern’ institutions of learning. Findings established that indigenous knowledge risk being extinct hence documentation of this knowledge should be instituted to preserve it. While the implementation of this can be subject for future research, current research has identified imparting indigenous knowledge through ‘modern’ schooling as a more viable option for indigenous knowledge to be learnt by the younger generation.","PeriodicalId":151323,"journal":{"name":"Indilinga: African Journal of Indigenous Knowledge Systems","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121270244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
