METHAGENOMIC IDENTIFICATION OF METHANOGENS ISOLATED FROM THE SOIL ON ONION PLANT
ABSTRACT
The study determines the Methagenomic Identification of Methanogens Isolated from the Soil on Onion Plant in Gada Local Government Area Sokoto State Nigeria. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to identify the methanogens isolated from the Soil on Onion Plant, identify the best performing onion genotype with good storage under field and room conditions, examine the prevalence of Nematode Species in Onion Farms, and find out how methanogens in Onion Farms is distributed in Gada Local Government Area Sokoto State Nigeria. Data used in this work is derived primary from secondary sources. The methodology therefore, is basically documentary in nature. This involves learning new facts and principles through the study of documents and records. The documents and records include journals, textbooks, official publications etc. By putting together logically evidence derived from documents and records. Conclusion which either established facts hitherto unknown or sound generalization can be obtained. This study will be of immense benefit to researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the important vegetable crops grown globally, which belongs to the family Liliaceae. It is subdivided into three groups: Allium cepa, Allium aggregation, Allium prolilum, which are all diploids (Boukary, 2012). The crop is a biennial herb which originated from Central Asia with centers of diversity in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. The crop is currently cultivated worldwide with other secondary centers of diversity identified over time (Brewster, 2008). Onion is ranked 4th among the most consumed vegetables after tomato, cabbage and watermelon with a global annual production of 2 million tonnes (Abdelkader et al., 2014).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Onions are grown primarily for their use as food, adding flavors to food and taste (Megersa, 2017). The crop is also used for processing such as pickling, freezing, dehydration and oil extraction. Young and healthy green onion leaves with their white bases are eaten raw in salads. In addition to consumption, onions are produced for medicinal purposes such as prevention and treatment of blood and heart diseases (Cheema et al., 2003). The crop is also a rich source of Vitamin C and E (Elassi, 2007) and in Uganda, onions contribute to household income especially in highland areas where they are grown purposely for sale (Bua et al., 2017). In India, onion is being grown in an area of 0.83 million hectares with production of 13.57 million tonnes and the productivity is 16.30 ton ha-1 which is low. Maharashtra is the leading onion producing state followed by Karnataka, Gujarat etc (FAO et al., 2018).
In peri-urban areas of central Uganda, onion is becoming a major spice and vegetable produced by farmers in wetland areas. Consequently, strong help for smallholder producers to achieve potential yields to boost their income and secure their livelihood by providing high yielding and adapted onion genotype is critical. However, the present challenge in most onion growing areas is lack of well-adapted onion genotypes. As a result, varietal information to improve onion yield in production areas is inadequate. Additionally, research has not established a breeding program to develop improved varieties or even evaluated existing onion genotypes imported from outside Uganda to guide growers in selecting best yielding onion varieties to use. Evaluation of onion genotypes for their yield performance is considered as one approach to use in obtaining high yielding and adapted onion genotype.
Therefore, in Gada Local Government Area Sokoto State Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to know the Methagenomic Identification of Methanogens Isolated from the Soil on Onion Plant.
