Popis:	Contamination of soils by effluents from industries is on the increase. There is the possibility of remediating these contaminated soils through the use of certain plants. This work investigated the remediating ability of Helianthus annuus and Tithonia diversifolia on the soil polluted with effluents from a paint industry in Ibadan, Nigeria. The experiment consisted of three treatments (H. annuus, T. diversifolia, and control) each replicated three times in a factorial combination of four different fertility managements, viz mineral fertilizer (MF); Grade A organomineral fertilizer (OMF); control1, plants without fertilizer application; and control2, where no fertilizer and no crop was planted using randomized complete block design. A total of 12 plots of 2 × 4 m2 each per phytoplant were obtained. Each plot was planted with the viable seeds of the phytoplant at a spacing of 60 × 30 cm2 and at the seed rate of four seeds per hole. The seedlings were thinned to two stands per hole 2 weeks after pl...
