Ethnobotany of Spice and Condiment Plants and the Associated Indigenous Knowledge on Management, Utilization and Conservation of them in and around Home Gardens in Loma and Gena Bosa Districts (Weredas) of Dawuro Zone, Southern Ethiopia
- Mathewos Agize
- This paper documents the traditional management, conservation and use of plant diversity focusing on spices and condiment plants found in and around home gardens along with the indigenous biological knowledge in Loma and Gena Bosa Woredas of Dawuro Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Data was collected from September 2006-March 2007 to get relevant information and plant specimen of different seasons. The ethnobotanical information was gathered from 32 spices and medicinal plants vendors (from market observation and interviewing 16 men and 16 women). Home garden owners and traditional healers were also asked for assurance of information. Samples of 100 home gardens (HGs) were considered and data on 214 plant species were collected from 300 plots each 5mx10m. The data were analyzed using SPSS computer software. The procedure for preference ranking and Shannon diversity index were also applied. About 43 species of spice and condiment plants were recorded both in the market and home gardens of the study area that were distributed in 16 families. Family Lamiaceae contains 13 species (30.23%), Asteraceae with six species (13.95%), Apiaceae four species (9.3%), and Zingiberaceae with three species (6.97%) cover 60.47% and the rest families contain 17 species and accounts for 39. 53% of the species of spices and condiments both from HGs and markets. Out of the spices and condiments recorded in the plots of home gardens sampled, Capsicum annuum recorded in 62 HGs, Ocimum americanum in 53, Ruta chalepensis in 51 and Capsicum frutescens in 47 HGs. Establishing botanical gardens with community-based conservation, encouraging the use of home gardens for cultivation of multipurpose plants and finding markets for potential home garden products needs to be followed up.
