| Abstract: | This study was aimed at investigating the biochemical and morphological response of corn (Zea may) to leachate-contaminated soil. The waste is collected from the official dump site at Ebrumede and the leachate was generated by simulation. The experiment was conducted in screen house of the college of science, Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun Delta State. Bulk surface soil samples (0-15cm) were collected from an area in the university with a coordinate of; Elevation 33ft, N05, 34', E05, 51', and analyzed using standard methods. Three polythene pots with drainage holes at the bottom, each containing 10kg of surface soil, randomly placed on a table in the screen house in a factorial combination of three treatment levels of watering with 0%, 5%, and 10% v/v simulated leachate and the soil was designated A, B, C respectively. The soil inside pots is homogenized by stirring using a glass rod, wetted with distilled water and allowed to equilibrate for two weeks. Three seeds of maize per pot were planted. Biochemical analysis which includes lipid peroxidation, soluble protein content, and assay of antioxidant enzymes was carried out on the maize plant after 4 Weeks after Planting. From the analysis, it is assay of that the Soluble Protein Content (SPC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of leaves of experimental values of leaf of corn planted in PKO leachate-contaminated soil was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of control, while the malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly higher than the control (p<0.05), also activities of enzymes of leaves of corn in B and C were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of control (A), those of A and B were not significantly different from one another (p>0.05). The results obtained reported that soil nutrient had been seen to be less mobile in contaminated soil and this condition had also been reported to adversely alter the growth pattern in plants. The Soluble Protein Content of the leaves of corn reduced substantially following soil contamination with leachate. |
