MICROBIAL RESPONSE TO PLANTS' ROOTS AND HYDROCARBON CONTAMINANTS IN DIESEL-OIL IMPACTED TROPICAL SOIL

Adieze, Ifechukwu E.^*, Onogbou, C. D., Ihejirika, C. E., Nwabueze, R. N.

Microbial response to plants' roots and contaminants in diesel-oil impacted soils were assessed in a greenhouse study. Two plants, Pueraria spp. and Panicum maximum were planted in 6% w/w polluted and control soil samples to obtain contaminated planted and uncontaminated planted pots. Contaminated control and uncontaminated control pots were al...
