The specific objectives of the study are as outlined below;
Ø To investigate the effect of crude oil on the autotrophic nitrifier population in soil from a fallowed land in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State .
Ø To compare the growth response of AOB and NOB at the same crude oil concentrations.
Ø To investigate the possible effect of Biochar on autotrophic nitrifying organisms at varying crude oil concentrations.
Ø To compare the cell concentrations of AOB and NOB at the same levels of biochar concentrations in crude oil-contaminated soil
Ø To establish the optimum concentration of biochar needed to stimulate nitrifier growth at a particular level of crude oil contamination in soil.
