The soil samples were polluted with four different concentrations of crude oil[50vol/weight,100vol/weight, 150vol/weight, and 200vol/weight] and the unpolluted soil served as control. The mean result obtained after eight weeks showed that plant height, number of leaves, petiole length and internodes length decrease with an increase in crude oil concentration. The study shows that crude oil pollution of soil has a serious effect on the growth of cassava and possible on yield also. It was therefore recommended that effort should be made to reduce oil spillage into the environment. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
