Abstract: This research work was to investigate the effect of plantain peels of various concentrations to induce the bioaccumulation of Pb and Cd in Echinochloa colona planted in heavy metal contaminated soil. Two (2) kilograms of homogenous heavy metal contaminated soil composite was weighed into polythene bags arranged in 4 batches (1, 2, 3, 4) alongside u... Show More
