Abstract EN

This study involved the use of industrial waste water from northern Baiji region after treatment by filtration to irrigate the Maize.

This experiment carried out in plastic pots according to randomized complete design with three replications.

Results showed that contaminated water affect the germination percentage of the seeds amounted to 60% in comparison with control , which amounted to 100%, also contaminated water have prevented the natural growth of the maize plant in the dry weight of the root system as is was 13.9 g and shoot as 38.7 g respectively.

The results also recorded that highest rate of accumulation of cadmium in the roots of plants irrigated with water polluted with petroleum waste was 0.14ppm, while the results recorded that the highest rate of accumulation of cadmium , was 0.10ppm , and lead was 0.20ppm respectively in plants leg irrigated with untreated water , and recorded the highest concentration of the cadmium in leaves of plants irrigated with petroleum waste water was 0.26ppm compared with control group, which reached to 0.03 ppm.

We can conclude from the study that the possibility of use industrial water for irrigation agricultural crops after conducting processed using various treatment methods .
