ABSTRACT
This study focused on Cynodon dactylon taken from two diverse sites in Benin city and SapeleWarri metropolitan environment which acted as a bioindicator to measure the level of pollution in those environments. In this study the leaves, roots and soil in which the plants grew collected from two different locations were analyzed. Changes in total sugar, total protein, chlorophyll content of the plant, physical, chemical and microbial content of the soil. The major goal was to determine the influence of crude oil toxicity on these plants by comparing specimens from the polluted site to control Cynodon dactylon. The results of this study demonstrated a significant crease in the amount of protein, chlorophyll and sugar among Cynodon dactylon specimens exposed to severely polluted settings when compared to their counterparts. The findings revealed substantial differences across all of the measured physicochemical environmental factors within the research locations. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of the impact of crude oil toxicity on Cynodon dactylon and provide valuable insights for environmental management and phytoremediation strategies.
