ABSTRACT
This study determined the micronutrient contents of soil polluted with cassava effluent. The results showed that the content in mg/l for Zn, Mn, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni in the polluted soil was 112.0 ± 0.03, 66.00 ± 0.02, 15.80 ± 0.01, 13.99 ± 0.02, 81.75 ± 0.02 and 9.80 ± 0.01 respectively. The implications of these results were discussed in the project.
