ABSTRACT

This work was aimed at determining the concentration of four trace metals: cobalt, copper,

nickel and zinc in soil. Samples were collected from both cultivated and uncultivated

farmlands in Giri.

The results obtained showed that the concentrations of cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc

in cultivated lands are 0. 138ppm, 0. 134ppm, 0. 126ppm and 0.224ppm respectively. And the

concentrations in uncultivated lands are 0. 112ppm, 0. 126ppm, 0.262ppm and 0.224ppm for

cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc respectively. Also the results showed that there is no

significant difference between the result from cultivated lands and that from uncultivated lands.
