- Intervention effect Soil treated with poultry wastes and Micrococcus sp. only showed organic carbon increases of 114.12%, 131.68% and 147.93% at 33.75, 42.02 and 52.55 mg/kg Zn pollution respectively.
- Intervention effect Dehydrogenase activity increased in all treated soil samples, unlike in control samples.
- Intervention effect Zn-polluted soil treated with poultry wastes plus cow dung produced the highest change in dehydrogenase activity.
- Intervention effect Corn seedlings grown on cow dung-treated soil had the highest number of leaves, 13.3±0.9, 13.7±0.5 and 13.3±0.5 leaves per stand at the three Zn pollution levels.
- Intervention effect Corn seedlings on soil treated with a consortium of cow dung and poultry wastes had the highest total chlorophyll concentration.
- Observation Zn bioaccumulation in corn followed the order roots > leaf > stem.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude the amendments (organic supplements or PGPRs) can annul or reduce stress from Zn pollution in corn seedlings.
