Effect of Irrigation Water on Accumulation of Heavy Metal and Mineral Element in Some Vegetables

In this study, the effects of irrigation water on vegetables were analysed. Samples that we analysed were pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.), and eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) were raised using running water and river water and collected from both normal land and riverside soils. After pretreating the collected samples in the laboratory, ICP-MS elemental analysis was conducted. Results are evaluated using SPSS 19 Statistical Package Software and expressed as mean we found that there is significant differences in the content metals of the samples (soil, roots and fruits) collected from three different area. We also evaluated the correlation between the soils and the roots vegetable in terms of heavy metals (or mineral). It was clear that there is a significant effect of irrigation water on the vegetables.
