ABSTRACT
Background: Plants interaction with contaminated soil due to petroleum oil pollution as well as appropriate management practices are major concerns in plant growth and development. Objectives: This study was designed to assess the chlorophyll contents and growth parameters of Amaranthus hybridus L. in engine oil polluted soil amended with organic manure from Calopogonium mucunoides. Methods: A single pollution level of 80 ml of engine oil was used, while organic manure (from leaves of C. mucunoides) was added at the rate of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg to 2kg of sandy loam soil. The physico-chemical properties of the experimental soil were examined. Results: Results showed that the contents of chlorophyll a, b, and ab recorded in amended soil were comparatively higher than those of the pollution treatment, but lower than those of the control. The moisture content, fruit number, fruit weight and root length increased with increase in the levels of organic amendment with the highest values of 67.49%, 12.66, 3.62g and 28.21cm, respectively, relative to the control treatment. These values were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those recorded in the pollution treatment. Conclusions: The use of organic manure from C. mucunoides to restore engine oil polluted soil could provide favourable conditions for biodegradation as well as provide environmentally friendly approach and nutrient source for abating petroleum hydrocarbon, and enhancing plant growth.
Keywords: Interaction, growth, contamination, remediation, organic supplement.
