Metal Fractionation in Soils Collected from Selected Cocoa Plantations in Ogun State, Nigeria
Nigerian cocoa farmers mostly use copper-based fungicides to control black pod disease of Theobroma cacao. Heavy metals are potentially toxic to soil microbes and soil environment in general. Toxicity depends on chemical association in soil. For this reason, determining the chemical forms of metals in soils is important to evaluate their mobility and bioavailability. Sequential extraction was u...
