متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metals Mobility in Selected Contaminated Cocoa Soils in Ondo State, Nigeria
Phytophtora pod rot is currently the most important limiting factor in the Nigeria cocoa Industry with a total losses of 30-90% crop loss. To overcome this problem, Nigerian cocoa farmers solely use copper-based fungicides to control the disease. Copper being a metal is not biodegradable. Hence, it accumulates in the soil as a result of continual use. Heavy metals are potentially toxic to soil ...
