Abstract:The study investigates the concentrations of heavy metals in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) planted in dumpsite soil obtained from the University of Benin and Ekosodin in Benin City. Soil samples were collected before and after planting and analyzed for pH, total nitrogen (N), total organic carbon (C), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Pb, Cd, and Cr). The study reveals variations in soil acidity levels across different locations before and after planting.… Show more
