“…The reduction of the growth of Amaranthus hybridus L. could be due to reduction of mineral elements in petroleum oil contaminated soil [23]. This could have occurred as a result of reduced availability of mineral elements [24] and increased acidity in the soil [25,26]. Such increase in soil acidity can affect the microbial distribution in the soil, hence reducing their activities in the rhizosphere.…”

Aims: This study is to evaluate the effect of petroleum crude oil contaminated soil on the mineral nutrient elements, soil properties and bacterial biomass of the rhizosphere of jojoba plants (Simmodsia chinensis). Methodology: A pot experiment was carried out. The soil was treated with different levels of crude oil: 1, 2 and 3% v/w either alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizers. Results: Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration increased in jojoba leaves when grown in petroleum oil polluted soil especially at 2% and 3% crude oil. It was noted that, Na, Mg and Ca decreased while K increased in shoots of jojoba. In roots Na and Ca increased however K and Mg decreased with increasing crude oil concentration in the soil. Heavy metals, Cu, Mn, Cd and Pb increased in both shoot and root with increasing crude oil concentration while, Zn decreased comparing with the control. In soil, N and K decreased meanwhile Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn as well as organic matter increased with increasing crude

“…The obtained results thus indicate the remarkable resistance of winter wheat on the studied contaminants. Although the majority of results emphasize the adverse effects of PDSs upon the growth and development of cultivated plants [24][25][26][27], some studies confirm the resistance of cereals to that type of soil-derived contaminant [28]. Everything depends on the dose of the contaminant, its type, and the time that passes from when contamination occurred.…”

“…Most of these metals such as Zn, V, Pb, Al, Ni and Fe, which are below detection levels in unused lubricating oil, give high values in used oil (Parreira et al 2011). These metals come from engine parts as a result of wear and tear (Njoku et al 2012), in addition to the various aliphatic and aromatic compounds that formed the original base of the oil. The heavy metals may be retained in soils in the form of oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, exchangeable cations, and/or bound to organic matter in the soil (McGrath et al 1995); while some may escape beyond the plants' root zone into the water table (Adelekan and Abegunde, 2011).…”

Soils polluted with spent engine oil had a reduced soil microbial population and activity (Nwoko et al 2007), reduced soil fertility status (Alloway and Ayres 1997) and reduced crop performance and yield (Njoku et al 2012).…”

The study investigated the effects of poultry manure compost (PMC) on the growth performance and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) when cultivated on spent engine oil (SEO) contaminated soil with a view to assessing its nutritional composition. The experiment consisted of three SEO treatments (0%, 1% and 2% w/w) with six levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 t ha-1) of PMC applications. Each treatment was replicated thrice and arranged in a 3 × 6 × 3 factorial completely randomized design to give a total of 54 pots. At full physiological maturity, maize grains were harvested and threshed manually for analysis. As the bioavailability of metals increased with increasing PMC, their uptake by maize plants was enhanced. The soil amended with 10 t ha-1 and contaminated with 1% SEO recorded the highest uptake rates of 1.761 × 10-2, 2.345 × 10-2 and 4.285 × 10-2 day-1 for Fe, Cu and Pb respectively. Also, the significantly (P<0.05) highest yield of maize (5.8 t ha-1) and the highest nutritional values of crude protein (11.27 g 100 g-1) and crude fibre (2.71 g 100 g-1) were obtained with zero SEO soil contamination at 10 t ha-1 PMC applications. There was evidence of yield and nutritional quality reduction of maize when cultivated on SEO contaminated soils with or without poultry compost fertilization
