Estimation of Cd, Zn in Soil of Different Site of Mosul Area and Their Effect on the Growth, Metal and Chemical Content in Spinach

The present study was conducted, to estimate the cadmium and zinc metals in soil of different regions of Ninavah province (Al-Rashedia, Al-Shreghan, Al-Kuba, Al-Gofran) and the effect of accumulation and the consequence of its accumulation on plant physiology and growth on different plants structure in spinach plant.
The result showed a significant increase in cadmium and zinc concentration in soil and plant structure planted in al- Rashedia in comparison to other regions. That caused a significant decrease in plant growth measured indicated by a significant decline in plant shoot and root hight. The dry weight of shoot and root, chlorophyll a,b. relative water content, protein, carbohydrate in leaf tissue and nutrition elements K, Mg, Ca. Results also showed a significant increase in prolein of leaf tissues and Na, Cl in plant in comparison to other studied regions.
