“…This could be attributed to the presence of tannins in baobab seeds. The Baobab oil cake contains 2-12% tannin [40,41]. The decline in enteric methane emissions with increase in inclusion of tannins in ruminant diet was similarly reported by several authors [42,43].…”

Background: The recent concern on the emission of methane from ruminant livestock that contributes to climate change has called for a search of feed ingredient that will mitigate the emission of this gas at the same time increase the growth performance of the animal. One of such feed ingredients could be baobab oil seed cake. This study therefore, investigate the effects of feeding graded levels of baobab oil seed cake (BOSC) on growth performance and enteric methane emissions of Savannah × Boer goats at yearling age.Methods: A total of 24 goats weighing 16.63 ± 3.639 kg were used in a completely randomized block design. The study was conducted for a period of 70 days, with an adaptation period of 14 days. The baobab oil seed cake was included in the diets at 0% (control diet), 15%, 30% and 45 % on a mass basis. The experimental diets were iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. The parameters measured include the average daily feed intake (ADFI), body weight gain (BWG), and average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and enteric methane emissions using Laser methane detector (LMD).Results The inclusion of baobab oil seed cake (15%, 30%, and 45% BOSC) in goats’ diets significantly increased (P<0.05) (ADFI). Females in the current study gained more weight than males. It was observed that goats fed diets with 0% baobab oil cake emitted higher methane output (P<0.05). Methane emission decreased as the baobab inclusion levels in the diet increase (P<0.05). Female Savannah ´ Boer goat emitted more methane than male (P<0.05). Both sex and baobab oil cake inclusion levels contributed significantly to methane emissions individually and interactively. Conclusion: Inclusion of baobab oil seed cake in the diet improved growth performance and could also be used to mitigate methane production in Savannah × Boer crossbreed goats at a range of 15 to 45 % inclusion levels without causing any detrimental effects on the goats.’

“…Root development forms from the underside of the base and new stems and leaves form from the upper side. A long photoperiod is crucial for bulb initiation and growth in Allium sativum [2,3,[13][14][15][16][17]. Although the precise structures are uncertain, the photoperiod and the mechanism for bulbing have been crucial limits for the progressive development of bulbs or the strategy of agricultural systems.…”

“…Nevertheless, day length does not distress the floral switch in tomato, which is a day-neutral plant. The photoperiod is believed to interrelate to stimulate bulbing [2,3]. Far-red light is also obligatory.…”

“…In alliaceous crops, bulb initiation is exceedingly inclined by day length. Bulb swelling is attracted if the day length exceeds 12-15 h, which is liable on the cultivar [3]. Brewster [4] informed that garlic produces inadequate bulbs in warm, short-day lowland tropical areas, but in temperate zones, the bulb size is characteristically large.…”

The photoperiod marks a varied set of behaviors in plants, including bulbing. Bulbing is controlled by inner signals, which can be stimulated or subdued by the ecological environment. It had been broadly stated that phytohormones control the plant development, and they are considered to play a significant part in the bulb formation. The past decade has witnessed significant progress in understanding and advancement about the photoperiodic initiation of bulbing in plants. A noticeable query is to what degree the mechanisms discovered in bulb crops are also shared by other species and what other qualities are also dependent on photoperiod. The FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein has a role in flowering; however, the FT genes were afterward reported to play further functions in other biological developments (e.g., bulbing). This is predominantly applicable in photoperiodic regulation, where the FT genes seem to have experienced significant development at the practical level and play a novel part in the switch of bulb formation in Alliums. The neofunctionalization of FT homologs in the photoperiodic environments detects these proteins as a new class of primary signaling mechanisms that control the growth and organogenesis in these agronomic-related species. In the present review, we report the underlying mechanisms regulating the photoperiodic-mediated bulb enlargement in Allium species. Therefore, the present review aims to systematically review the published literature on the bulbing mechanism of Allium crops in response to photoperiod. We also provide evidence showing that the bulbing transitions are controlled by phytohormones signaling and FT-like paralogues that respond to independent environmental cues (photoperiod), and we also show that an autorelay mechanism involving FT modulates the expression of the bulbing-control gene. Although a large number of studies have been conducted, several limitations and research gaps have been identified that need to be addressed in future studies.

The field experiment was carried out at the National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT) Idi-Ishin Jericho, Ibadan to determine the growth and herbage yield of Lagos spinach (Celosia argentea L.) as affected by different tillage methods and plant spacing. The experiment was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) involving twelve treatments, replicated three times. The plot size used was 2 m × 3 m with 1 m path ways between plots and 1 m between replicates. The treatments were different plant spacing (15 cm × 30 cm, 30 cm × 30 cm, 45 cm × 30 cm and 60 cm × 30 cm) and tillage methods (raise bed, ridges and flatbed). The result showed that the plants from raised bed at spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm (111,111 plants per ha) gave the highest response in terms of average growth parameters that were considered at 7 WAP and the yield value after harvesting at 8 th week. The spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm from raised bed gave the highest fresh herbage yield of the Celosia planted.
