Manyara Regional and District Projections

This report presents population projections for the period 2003 to 2025 for the Manyara Region and its districts. The projections were made using the Cohort Component Method (Spectrum System), whereby three components responsible for population change, namely: mortality, fertility and migration are projected separately as well as HIV/AIDS prevalence. The projected components are then applied to 2002 midyear base population in order to come up with the desired projections from 2003 to 2025. The report gives mortality, fertility, migration and HIV/AIDS assumptions, which depicts Manyara’s demographic and socio-economic future trends. The results include estimated population by sex in single years and five-year age groups as well as some demographic indicators. Population growth for the period 2003 to 2025 shows an increase in growth rates. The projections show that population growth rate will increase from 3.9 percent in 2003 (with a population of 1,075,022) to 4.2 percent in 2025 (with a population of 2,483,873). Sex Ratio at birth is projected to decrease from 105 male births per 100 females in 2003 to 103 male births per 100 females in 2025. Mortality estimates show that Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is expected to decline for both sexes from 62 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2003 to 31 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2025. Under Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) for both sexes will also decline from 96 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2003 to 42 deaths per 1,000 live births in the year 2025. The mortality projected estimates further show that the life expectancy at birth for females is higher compared to that of males, which is expected. Life expectancy at birth for Manyara will increase from 61 years in 2003 to 68 years in 2025 for both sexes. For male population, life expectancy at birth will increase from 60 years in year 2003 to 66 years in 2025, while for female population the life expectancy at birth will increase from 62 years in 2003 to 69 years in 2025.

Insecticidal Activities of Azadirachta indica A.J (Meliaceae) leaf and Seed on Stored Grain Weevils and Toxicological Studies of Pesticide-protected Stored Grains in Nigeria

Introduction: Azadirachta indica has been used in Nigeria for decades in traditional medicine for managing various diseases notably are fever, aches, common cold, as well as  urinary tract infections.Methods: A. indica  leaves and seeds were prepared after air drying into powder forms(PF), aqueous extract(AE) and ethanol extract(EE). Two kilograms of dried leaves and seeds were each prepared by grinding with electronic blender into fine powder, fresh leaves and seeds were  each macerated in 1000mL of water in a basin while 2000g of the other powdered parts were extracted using cold maceration techniques in 1.5 litres of absolute ethanol and concentrated using rotary evaporator. The grains tested were maize, bean, millet and guinea corn; each bagged in 25Kg storage bags and arranged in randomized block design in the laboratory for 8 weeks. Various preparations of A. indica PF, AE, and EE were used to store the grains for the period. % Mortality of weevils, as well as oviposition deterrence were determined in each bag and for each preparation. Results: The result showed that AE of leaf and seed exhibited 100% insecticidal and oviposition deterrence on Acanthoscelides obtestus (bean weevil) than maize and guinea corn weevil(Sitophilus spp.). Insecticidal activities increases with increased storage time. These results were comparable to the standard pesticide DD force at p≤0.05 (ANOVA).  Acute toxicity determination showed that  LD50 value were  363.10 mg/Kg and 977.10 mg/Kg for beans and maize respectively
