【 摘 要 】

This study was conducted to evaluate the Enhancement of Remediation by Eleusine indicathrough augmentation of soil with cow dung. The soil was contaminatedartificially with 50kg, 75kg and 100kg crude oil. over 8 weeks period. The study includedan assessment of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metal (Cd andPb) accumulation in soil of Eleusine indica. More PAHs was lost from soils augmented withcow dung than from the non-augmented soil. The heavy metals (lead) were in theaugmented soils than from the non augmented soil, while heavy metal (cadmium) shows aninsignificant amount. Significant differences were noticed between the augmented soils andthe non-augmented soil (p
