The effect of NPK, orange and plantain peels amendment on anatomical structure of Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona in heavy metal polluted soil was investigated in this study. Factorial experiment fitted into Randomized Complete Block Design was adopted. Two kilogram (2kg) of homogenized heavy metal polluted soil were weighed into planting bags and amended with 40g NPK fertilizer, 100g orange peels waste and 100g plantain peel waste in six replications respectively. A double control of unpolluted and polluted soils without amendments in six replications were also set up. Two (2) weeks old seedlings of Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona were transplanted from nursery onto the respective experiment blocks. The set up was monitored with constant watering at the rate of 500ml for two months of post treatment. At the end of the experiment, the anatomical structure study of roots and shoots of the study plants grown in control soil and soil amended with NPK 20:20:20 showed distortion in the vacuole bundles and cortex. On the contrary, Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona grown in soil amended with orange and plantain peels waste observed to be similar in anatomical structure with Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona grown in double control. The result also showed that the vascular bundles of Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona grown in NPK amendment treatments and control soil lost their shape in roots and shoots. Therefore, orange and plantain peels amendment were effective in reducing the negative impact of metals on plants anatomical structure. These amendments can be harnessed as chelators in making phytoextraction techniques feasible by controlling wilting of plants during remediation processes.
