The potentials of cocoa pod husk and plantain peels in the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbon content of crude oil polluted soil were investigated in Calabar, Nigeria. Two kilogram of soil contained in 36 plastic buckets were polluted with 250ml of Bonny light crude oil obtained from Nigerian Agip Company Port Harcourt. The treatments were applied in single form (400CPH, 500CPH, 400PP, 500PP) and in combined form (200CPH+ 200PP and 250CPH+ 250PP). The result shows that 84.22% sand 87.44% of TPH were degraded in 400CPH and 500CPH treated soil respectively while 80.69% and 81.04% of TPH were degraded in 400PP and 500PP treated soil respectively and 81.92% and 83.53% of TPH were degraded in 250CPH+250PP and 200CPH+200PP treated soil respectively. It can be concluded that 500CPH was effective in enhancing the degradation of TPH in contaminated soil.
