Evaluation of phytoremediation potential of <i>Peltophorum pterocarpum</i> (DC.) Heyne <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> (Lam.) De Wit. and <i>Crotolaria retusa</i> Linn for waste oil contaminated soils

An ecological study was carried out to evaluate remediation potential of three hydrocarbon tolerant species (Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.) Heyne, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit., and Crotolaria retusa Linn) of Fabaceae plant family in relation to enzyme activity for cleaning up soils contamina...
