Eleusine indica, Panicum maximum and Lablab purpureus were screened for their potential in remediating crude oil polluted soil in microplots. Five litres plastic pots were filled with 2 kg soil and treated with distilled water (which served as the control -0 ml) 40 ml, 80 ml and 120 ml representing 0%, 2%, 4% and 6% (v/w) of crude oil, respectively. The test plants were randomly planted in the treated soil; the experiment was a 3 x 4 factorial in a randomized complete design with four replicates. Soil samples were collected for physicochemical parameters at the beginning and at the end of the study. Results indicated that total hydrogen hydrocarbon (TPH) reduced significantly (p ≤ 0.05) in the crude oil polluted soil. The TPH of 94.1% obtained was from P. maximum treated with 4% v/w crude oil, followed by P. maximum (94%) treated with 6% v/w of crude oil. P. maximum treated with 2% v/w of crude oil had TPH of 82.5%. L. purpureus treated with 6^% v/w of crude oil reduced pollutant significantly with a TPH of 93.7% (6% v/w), 92.7% (4% v/w)) and 88.4% (2% v/w). In treated E. indica TPH was 87.7% (2% v/w), 91.4% (4% v/w), and (89.3% (6% v/w) in that order. The concentration of crude oil before and after remediation ranged from 456.10 -1712.20 mg/kg and 51.21 -183.62 mg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, there was increase in the pH of P. maximum by 35.8% at the contamination level of 6% v/w from 3.50 -5.45 pH pre and post remediation respectively when compared with the control. Soil cation exchange capacity reduced significantly in all tested plants with P. maximum being the least affected at all levels of crude oil pollution.There was no remediation of nitrates and phosphates by all test plants. However, phosphate in Eleusine indica treated with 6/% v/w of crude oil increased by 48% with the concentration of 6.50 mg/kg (pre remediation) to 12.50 mg/kg (post remediation), followed by Lablab purpureus 40.9% with concentration of 6.50 -9.60 mg/kg (pre remediation) to 9.60 mg/kg (post remediation) Evidently, the tested plants have remediation potentials of crude oil polluted soil.
