Abstract:
this study investigated the effect of Rubber effluents impacted soil on physio morphological and biochemical properties of maize plant (Zea May). Fifteen polythene pots with drainage holes at the bottom, each containing 10 kg of surface soil, were randomly placed on a table in a screen house in a factorial combination of five treatment levels (20%, 15%, 10%, 5% and 0%w/w) of rubber effluent. The soil inside the pots was homogenized by stirring using a glass rod, wetted with distilled water and allowed to equilibrate for two weeks. Two weeks after the application of rubber effluent, three seeds of maize corn per pot were planted. Result revealed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in girth length of maize corn planted rubber effluent-impacted soil relative to the control. The relative water content RWC ranged between 80% and 89%. Biochemical analysis which includes both assay of enzymes and antioxidant enzymes like, Ascorbic acid (ASB), Alanine transferase (ALT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) ,Malondialdehyde (MDA) was carried out on the maize plant after four Weeks of Planting. From the analysis, generally, it was observed that the MDA values of stem of corn planted in rubber effluent-contaminated soil was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of control but later increased at the higher concentration while their SOD, CAT, ASP was significantly higher than the control (p<0.05). The activities of antioxidant of the stem of experimental corn studied followed a definite pattern in root, stem and leave of the plant in which the activities increased as the percentage concentration of rubber effluent increased in the soil. Although activities of enzymes (ALT) in of the stem in corn for the concentration B, C and D were significantly (p <0.05) higher than that of control (A), but those of B, C and E were not significantly different from one another (p>0.05).The results obtained reported that soil nutrient had been to be less mobile in contaminated soil and this condition had also been reported to adversely alter the growth pattern in plants. The assessment of antioxidative enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidative parameters following contamination with a greater level of rubber effluent revealed that the plant's defense system against the harmful impact of the rubber effluent is overwhelmed, putting the plant at risk of oxidative stress.
