“…Potassium (K) mean concentrations in rice leaves for the all studied genotypes varied from 12822.63 to 28037.9 ppm (Table 7). Line FC7-26 presented the highest mean concentrations of In general, soil contains large amounts of all elements, but only a very small percentage of these total amounts is actually useful for plant growth [43]. This is noticed in the most essential elements that were examined in this study, particularly in case of iron concentration exceeding 10,000 ppm while the concentration found in leaves was less than 75 ppm.…”

In this study, element concentrations in grains of three wild rice species (i.e., Oryza rufipogon, Oryza officinalis and Oryza meyeriana) and three cultivated rice varieties (i.e., Nipponbare, 93-11 and HY-8) as well as in leaves of Oryza officinalis and its introgression lines were measured. The wild rice species were highly useful in terms of the quality and the harmful heavy metal resistance. The results showed that the mean concentrations of heavy metals in the soil was in the ranking order of Ti > Zr > Sr > Pb > Rb > As. The essential element concentrations, it was found that the Original Research Article

“…It is for this purpose that the Kubanni Basin needs continuous and routine monitoring for periodic assessment of pollutants, especially metals. Earlier works (Ewa and Dim, 1989;Ewa et al, 1992) revealed the presence of high concentrations of elements like sodium (Na), aluminum (Al), K, titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), barium (Ba), Sm, and dysprosium (Dy) in the sediments. The objective of this work is aimed at determining the concentrations of metals from the Kubanni sediments and examining the vertical profiles of the heavy and light rare earth elements as a measure of assessing the annual surface contamination of the river basin.…”

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) was used for the determination of metal concentrations of sediments sampled at specific locations of the Kubanni River in Nigeria. The sedimentation process was assessed by examining the variation of the concentrations of the metals in different cores with sediment depths. Fifteen metals: arsenic (As), cerium (Ce), europium (Eu), iron (Fe), gadolinium (Gd), hafnium (Hf), holmium (Ho), potassium (K), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), thorium (Th), uranium (U), and ytterbium (Yb) were detected from the sediments in substantial concentrations; higher than the parts per million (µg g -1 ) value in some cases. Our results showed contamination of the surface sediments by U and Th, suggesting contributions from phosphate fertilizers used in farmlands around the basin as potential sources of these pollutants. Aeolian depositions emanating from the uranium-rich region of Air (Niger) in the Saharan desert were considered to be other possibilities.

“…Plants absorb the essential elements through their root systems or their leaves in various forms [1]. In general, soil contains large amounts of all the elements, but only a very small percentage of these total amounts are actually useful for plant growth [6]. This is viewed in the case of iron content exceeding 50,000 ppm and the portion available to plants is less than 5 ppm [7].…”

“…However, the characteristics and management of the problems associated with the soils of the Nigerian Savannah focusing on the morphological properties, particle size, and chemical properties have been studied and published [12]. Some works have been carried out in the areas of major and minor trace element analyses in aquatic and terrestrial environments such as sediments, rocks, and soils [13][14][15]. Also, [16] investigated sulphur in Northern Nigeria soils, while [17] equally studying the Alfisols of the Savannah only on one element (Iron).…”

In this study, a total of ten essential elements for plants growth in the Guinea savanna region of Niger State in Northern Nigeria have been identified in the soils using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The experimental results show good agreement with certified or literature values within the agreed percentage range of ±2.35% to ±8.69%. However, the concentration distributions of the ten identified elements in the soil samples within the studied area for plants growth revealed the following: Fe (123.4 ppm), Mn (2100.7 ppm), K (5544.3 ppm), Al (54752.4 ppm), Ti (3082.9 ppm), Ca (4635 ppm), V (54.3 ppm), Na (857.5 ppm), Mg (13924.1 ppm), and Dy (12.1 ppm). A further analysis of the two fundamental soil physical parameters for healthy growth of some common crops like egusimelon, groundnut, rice, yams, soybeans, cassava, and potato analyzed in this work revealed a pH range of 4.0 pH–8.0 pH and a temperature range of 28.0°C to 29.3°C, which are optimal for plant nutrients availability in the soils within the study area.
