Nairaland / General / Re: Ten Things You Need To Do Before You Turn 30. by maleeks(m): 6:00pm On Jan 01, 2020 |
sisipelebe:
Ten things you should definitely do before you turn thirty:
1.Get Your Heart Broken. It is not the most pleasant experience in life. Unfortunately, it is inevitable. However, it is the invaluable lesson everyone should go through. Get your heart broken to learn the hard way how cruel and tough the life can be.
2.Realize That Life Has Already Begun. The sooner you do this the sooner you will be able to start doing the things that matter. Every decision matters and every choice counts. There is no interlude Nor is there a trial version. Therefore, strive to live a meaningful life now.
3. Write An Article. Develop a strong point of view regarding the particular issue and do your best to express your thoughts in the best way possible. Get your voice featured on the popular outlet and praise yourself for this small accomplishment.
4.Master A Valuable Skill. Your ability to apply your knowledge and produce some great results is what lets you stand out and makes others pay you for your services. Opt for mastery and strive to become the best at what you do.
5. Slay Your Fears. Stop living your fears as soon as possible. Do not enter the fourth decade of your life being afraid of trivial things. Learn to live beyond your comfort zone and slay your fears to live the life to the fullest.
6.Establish A Few Useful Connections. You cannot know everyone and know how to do everything. The good thing is that you do not need to. Meanwhile, you can meet some great people that can give a valuable advice or come in your hour of need.
7.Live Abroad For At Least A Year. Living abroad is not always fun and easy. This experience is often full of struggle and difficulties. Learn how to adapt to and survive in unfamiliar environments. Find out how to meet new friends and get used to a different culture.
8. Establish A Good Habit Attitude. Then you won`t need to break a bad one. Habits might seem innocuous daily actions that do not make any impact on your life. In fact, they define how productive and successful you are. Adopt the habits that are the perfect fit for a person you`d like to be.
9.Define Your Goals. Make sure you are not going to float along after you are 30. Make sure you get closer to the things you want to accomplish with every step you take. Make sure you know what you want and channel your energy towards attaining your goals.
10.Get Into Challenging Environment. If you are not willing to start stagnating too soon, surround yourself with the people that are smarter, stronger and faster than you. They will motivate you to catch up and become better than you ever thought possible.

Education / Re: UI Student Develops Lemongrass-based Insecticides Against Beans Weevils by maleeks(m): 6:46am On May 17, 2019 |
LazyGold: A biochemistry doctoral student at the University of Ibadan, Mojisola Karigidi, who is the founder of Moepelorse Bio Resources, has produced a bio-pesticide for preserving beans, pulses and grains.
Giving the background to her pet research product, Karigidi said “weevils that attack beans and maize in storage can destroy as much as 40 per cent of these crops, causing huge loss to farmers and traders.”Farmers and food crop traders who are mostly uneducated, she added, indiscriminately apply insecticides to these crops in storage to minimise or eliminate losses as much as possible.
That practice has serious health and environmental implications, so said the researcher while speaking with The Guardian. “So, as a biochemist working on medicinal plants, I decided to investigate and develop a plant-based bio-pesticide to get rid of insect pests that attack food crops in storage, particularly beans and maize weevils using lemongrass leaves.” She said lemongrass is used locally for the treatment of mild fever, malaria and is also used in green tea products because of its medicinal properties. It has a long record of extensive therapeutic applications in traditional medicine in many countries across the globe.
“Apart from its medicinal properties, some people believe that growing the plant around their home can prevent the invasion of snakes and other reptiles. This belief motivated my team members and I to investigate the insecticidal ability of the plant against weevils,” she explained.
Product formulation
The researchers obtained the distillate of lemongrass by a distillation process and treated weevil-infested beans with different concentrations of the distillate. Prior to this, they reared beans weevils to breed them in large quantities for use. “The result was interesting, as we recorded the death of adult weevils within a short while. I thought of strengthening this effect by combining other botanicals like orange distillate for example, to produce a cocktail effect. The bio-pesticide formulated from this yielded 100 per cent weevil mortality within one hour of exposure,” she disclosed.
In another experiment, the researcher infested clean bean seeds that were without eggs with weevils and allowed the females lay eggs on the seeds. Female weevils began to lay eggs within 12 to 24 hours. The seeds containing visible weevil eggs were divided into groups and treated with different concentrations of the formulated distillate and then incubated in the dark for eight hours at room temperature to monitor adult emergence.Compared to the control group that was untreated, the treated groups showed no emergence of larva or adult weevils and no reduction in the weight of treated seeds.
The biochemist said the formulated bio-pesticide led to the mortality of both weevils and eggs, adding that further studies were done to obtain the most effective dosage.
Dosage and method of application
Based on the bio-efficacy of the bio-pesticide formulation carried out by the Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI), Ibadan, Nigeria, 6 ml of the product can effectively control 100g of weevil infested maize within 30 minutes of exposure. They recorded 100 per cent mortality of maize weevils in 30 minutes. At a lower dosage of 3 ml per 100g maize, 100 per cent weevil mortality was achieved after 24 hours of exposure.
For beans weevil control, 30 ml will get rid of all weevils in 3kg of beans within 30 to 60 minutes of exposure.However, the findings showed that preservation rather than control is the better approach for the use of the bio-pesticide, as it requires smaller quantity of the product to prevent weevil infestation on clean seeds and grains than already infested ones.
“So, immediate spraying of sorted harvested beans or maize grains with little quantity of the product and allowing to air dry for five to 10 minutes before bagging will effectively prevent weevil attacks,” the scientist said.
Comparative advantages
Application of the bio-pesticide, both for control and preventive purposes against weevil attack, can preserve the treated food item for up to a year and six months without the need for re-application. Re-application is often needed in the case of the currently used synthetic pesticides to preserve for this length of time.
Another advantage, she mentioned, is the well published medicinal properties of the plant, including anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidant properties, which are also beneficial to humans.
Toxicity
The scientist said there was no recorded health implication for the consumption of lemongrass-treated food items, although there may be individual allergy to the lemongrass smell of the product.
Mode of action
The insecticidal and ovicidal effects of the bio-pesticide occur through inhalation and contact. The terpenes and terpenoids, which are plant secondary metabolites present in the plant formulation, cause symptoms that suggest a neurotoxic mode of action on treated beans and maize weevils. On prevention of weevil infestation, the lemony smell of the product repels weevils, thereby preventing their attack and the possibility of laying eggs.
Product barrier and its commercialisation
The chief developer of the product said the present barrier to the commercialisation of the product, which has been patented under the Trademarks, Patents and Designs Registry of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is the cost price.
She estimated that selling price is relatively higher when produced at the small-scale level, but upon licensing to big manufacturers, production cost would be reduced when material extraction is done large-scale. That way she said, the product could be made available to farmers, traders and households at affordable and competitive rates, especially for organic products.
Mojisola Karigidi was a 2017 Aspen New Voices fellow and a 2016 fellow of the Mandela Washington fellowship programme. She was selected as a 2014 fellow of the African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) and became an awardee of the Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST Tech-I) competition in 2015 based on the lemongrass pesticide. She holds a Master’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Ibadan.
