Microbiological Status, Physico-chemistry and Plant Performance in Spent Lubricating Oil (SLO) Polluted Soils Amended with Spiked Organic Fertilizer

M. E. Ntekpe, M. A. Ekpo, U. U. Ndubuisi-Nnaji, E. O. Mbong & D. C. Udoidiong · Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research · 2023

Soil contaminations by spent lubricating oil (SLO) have been reported to be threatening as it can negatively impact soil macro/micro-flora, destroy the food chains, disrupt biogeochemical cycling of elements, thus reducing soil fertility/productivity, with attendant economic impl...

Influence of Spent Lubricating Oil Spiked Compost on Microbial Counts and Hydrocarbon Degradation Rate in Soils

M. E. Ntekpe, M. A. Ekpo, U. U. Ndubuisi-Nnaji, E. O. Mbong & E. Ntino · Biotechnology Journal International · 2023

This study evaluated the influence of organic fertilizers produced from spent lubricating oil (SLO) spiked aerobic composting technique on hydrocarbon degradation rate in soils. The compost windrows (Ft2 and Ft4), consisting of kitchen and agricultural wastes, were spiked with va...
