Abstract

The contamination of soil with crude oil poses a great threat to the environment, affecting its fertility and overall ecosystem health. This project aims to investigate the potential of Trichoderma species as an amendment to stimulate the remediation of crude oil polluted soil. The effectiveness of Trichoderma species in enhancing the degradation of crude oil was
