Title

BIOACCUMULATION OF MINERALS AND HEAVY METALS IN THREE SPECIES OF STRIGA GRASS (S. hermonthica, S. aciatica and S. gesnerioides)

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research work examined the nutrient and heavy metal accumulation capacity of three different species of Striga plant from two different locations (western and eastern Yobe) in Yobe State; Kukar Gadu and Damaturu towns respectively. Atomic absorption spectrometry and other analytical techniques were employed to estimate the amount of nutrient and heavy metal bioaccumulation of the three (3) species of Striga grass. Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus were also within the optimum recommended levels in the parasitic plant but lower in the host plant. The concentration of nitrogen analysis in the three (3) species range between 479.75- 826.91 mg/kg in stem, 145.60-532.09mg/kg in leaves and 701.33 – 859.06mg/kg in root. Concentration of phosphorus in the three (3) species ranged between 18.83+ - 202.76 mg/kg in stem, 17.40-176mg/kg in leaves and 49.28 – 275.27mg/kg in root while the hostorium of S. gesneriodes has between 56.75-265.49mg/kg. Potassium concentrations in the three (3) species, the range is between 335.55+ to 1360.54 mg/kg in stem, 115.61-956.64mg/kg in leaves and 634 – 1245.18mg/kg in root while the hostorium of S. gesneriodes has capacity between 664.05-1689.66mg/kg. Concentrations of N, P and K in the roots of sample beans (host plant) are between 153.95 mg/kg, 200.01 mg/Kg and 104.07 mg/Kg respectively. Zinc concentration in the three (3) species, the range is between 9.750 - 21.740 mg/kg in stem, 1.42-10.83mg/kg in leaves and 13.94-45.14mg/kg in root while the hostorium of S. gesneriodes has 14.91-32.16mg/kg. Manganese in the three (3) species revealed a range between 4.19-39.58 mg/kg in stem, 0.00-8.38 mg/kg in leaves and 9.09-77.30mg/kg in root. The root-bulb of S. gesneriodes had 11.58-89.106mg/kg of manganese. The levels of manganese concentration in all parts of the plants are also within the optimum requirement of 25-100 ppm (Srivastava & Shyam, 2004) and WHO limits of 500mg/kg. Lead concentration in samples ranges between 1.10-3.11mg/kg in stem, 2.08-5.03mg/kg in root and 0.37-0.98 in leaves. The hostorium has 1.91-10.37mg/kg. Cadmium concentration in samples ranges between 1.21-9.92mg/kg in stem, 1.46-13.92mg/kg in root and 0.42-7.65 mg/kg in leaves. The root-bulb has 1.32-10.56mg/kg. The heavy metal concentrations in all the samples were higher than the WHO recommended level that may cause toxicity in plants.
