Impact Of Petroleum Hydrocarbon On Soil Fertility Indices:- Ihunwo Praise A
ABSTRACT
Major
fertility indices were examined to characterize the physio-chemical Conditions
of pH, temperature, moisture content and electrical conductivity ofsoils. High
soil acidity (low pH of4.9 — 5.1), low electrical conductivity as well as high
temperature and moisture content, Evidence of severe hydrocarbon contamination
was provided evidence of reduced metabolic activities on the affected site.
These conditions generally imply low soil fertility, This in turn implies low
agricultural productivity and reduced source oflivelihood in the affected area.
Based on the results that was obtained, contingency/remedial measures which
includes the application of appropriate and sufficient Vermicompost was used to
treat the soil.
