This study was done to assess the role of composted organic waste on remediating chromium polluted soil. Different concentrations of chromium solution were added to soil previously mixed with different rates of compost. Maize crop was used as test crop and planted in the treated soil. phenotypic charac- teristics of the crop were monitored during the growing period. After harvesting chromium concentration was determined in soil and plant samples. Results revealed the decrease in chromium concentration and better crop growth in soils treated with high compost rate. Therefore, it was recommended that com- posted organic waste could be used on remediating polluted soils.
