Abstract: Beekeeping is an important activity to increase the family income in rural areas. However, honey bees pests and their control measurements is a great challenge. Hence, this experiment was conducted to evaluate and identify the effectiveness of essential oils extracted from neem (Azadirachta indica), basil (Ocimum basilicum), Calpurnia aurea, Cymbopogon citratus, Vernonia amygdalina, Vebascum sinatticum benth and Maesa lanceolata Forssk against the larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. Plant species were collected, dried, grinded and plant extracts were prepared from the selected plants using soxhlet extraction method. Botanical extracts were dissolved in distilled water to obtain 5%, 10%, and 15% concentrations and contact toxicity assay was conducted in the laboratory on the larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. The experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and replicated three times. The results showed that, plant extracts tested at various concentrations exhibited variable responses to the larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella as compared to the controls. The highest larval mortality (94.22%) was recorded from neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract followed by basil (Ocimum basilicum) (83.76%), Vernonia amygdalina (77.47%), Calpurnia aurea (66%) and Vebascum sinatticum benth (43.66%) after application of 15% dose of plant extract within 48 hrs as compared with controls.This study concluded that, neem (Azadirachta indica) and Ocimum basilicum extracts had showed best result against the larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella compared to other botanical extracts. Therefore, neem (Azadirachta indica) and Ocimum basilicum oil extracts can be developed as sources of natural pesticides for the management of larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. However, further research should be carried out in order to identify its effectiveness on the field and on honeybees.

Abstract: The study was carried out on Farmers perception on conflict resolution as a tool for rural development in Taraba State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to describe the socioeconomic characteristics of rural crop farmers in the study area, identify institutions effective in resolving conflicts in the study area, examine perceived conflict resolution strategies employed by the various institutions in the area and ascertain perceived effects of conflicts resolution on rural development. Multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted in the process of sample selection. Data were collected using well-structured questionnaire administered to 120 respondents, out of which 114 questionnaires were properly filled and returned. Descriptive statistics was used to achieve objectives of the study. Results of socioeconomic characteristics revealed that majority (60.5%) of rural farmers were male, majority (66.7%) of the farmers fell within 31-50 years, majority (50%) were married with average household size of 11 persons. Majority of the farmers are predominantly small-scale farmers with average farm size of 2.7 ha and majority (73.5%) of the respondents belonged to organizations. The result further revealed that traditional rulers are the major (85.1%) arbitrators of conflict in the study area. The major strategies as perceived by farmers are Prohibit open rearing and grazing of livestock (85.1%), Setting up of judicial committee of enquiry (82.5%), compensation and punishment (78.1%) and Killing of farmers on their farm land should be stopped (76.3%). The also showed that conflicts resolution leads to reduction of mortality rate (76.3%), increase rural farm and nonfarm investment (73.7%), reduces poverty of rural dwellers (72.8%), reduced food insecurity (68.4%) and reduced rural-urban migration (54.4%). It was concluded that conflict enact a major obstacle against rural development as well as farmers livelihoods. It was recommended that strategies for conflict prevention and mitigation should be considered of primary interest by government and international aid community.
