“…The lower growth parameters might be due to a reduction in mineral absorption with increasing oil concentration in the soil (Odjegba and Atebe, 2007). For instance, a study on maize (Zea mays) has shown that oil pollution makes nutrient elements in the soil unavailable to plants (Udebuani et al, 2017). In addition, inhibition of plant growth by SEO could be due to increased acidity in the soil (Achuba and Peretiemo-Clark, 2007) due to microbial metabolism of the substrate (Udebuani et al, 2017).…”

“…The presence of some heavy metals in the SEO soil might have also contributed to the observed stunted growth of soybeans seedlings (Okonokhua et al, 2007). High concentration of cadmium as well as nickel, lead, copper and zinc which are toxic to plant have been reported in oil polluted soil (Udebuani et al, 2017;Umoren et al, 2019). The SEO produces adverse effects on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil (Agbogidi and Ejemete, 2005;Ahamefule et al, 2017).…”

“…Borah and Talukdar (2002) reported that the frequency of cells and chromosomal aberrations could be associated with the toxicity of the spent engine oil. Udebuani et al (2017) reported that polluted soils with SEO produce abnormal increase in all size (hypertrophy) in maize plant which later ruptures as the cells grow older. Also, reports have shown that exposure of plant cells to SEO can produce cells showing nuclei disintegration or destruction (Tanti et al, 2009).…”

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merril) is one of the most nutritionally valuable legumes in Africa. However, spent automobile engine oil is always disposed indiscriminately on lands and water bodies in Nigeria, which pollutes both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, with adverse effects on crop growth and productivity. This study investigated the effects of spent engine oil (SEO) polluted soils on growth parameters and mitotic chromosomes of soybean. Two soybean varieties (TGX-1448-2E and local) were planted in pots filled with sandy-loam soil treated with 0, 0.1, 0.4 and 0.7% v/w SEO concentrations, in 2 × 4 factorial experiment laid in a completely randomized design with six replications. Data were collected at weekly intervals for four weeks on growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf width and leaf length) and chromosomal aberration. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means separated with LSD. Among the treatments, seed germination rate was significantly higher in TGX-1448-2E (95.0 ± 0.0-96.0 ± 0.7%) than local variety (70.0 ± 0.7-71.0 ± 0.7%). Both 0.4 and 0.7% SEO caused significant (p ≤ 0.01) reductions in plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width whereas, 0.1% did not reduce growth parameters. Treatments 0.4 and 0.7% SEO caused high chromosomal aberrations in soybean as they reduced chromosome numbers (from 40.0 to 23%), cell division, mitotic index (70.0 to 20.8%) and produced 31.7% abnormal cells. Abnormalities such as bridges, laggards and chromosome stickiness occurred. This study shows that 0.4-0.7% SEO polluted soils is phytotoxic to soybeans.
