摘要：Effect of earthworm innoculation on vermi-assisted bioremediation of spent engine oil contaminated soil was investigated. The rate of biodegradation of used engine oil was studied for a period of fourteen weeks under laboratory conditions. After 14 weeks, the control sample (without earthworm or organic amendment), the bio-stimulated sample (with organic amendment but without worms) and the earthworm-innoculated sample (with organic amendment and earthworms) recorded 10.08%, 24.33% and 91.92% reduction in pertroleum hydrocarbon content respectively. The co-application of organic amendment and earthworm is recommended for the accelaration of bioremediation of used engine oil contaminated soil.Keywords: cassava peels; used engine oil; bacterial flora; kinetics; Eudriluseugeniae
