The present study was conducted to investigate the effect use the sewage sludge on two cereal crops Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.,), Wheat (Triticum astivum ) characteristics( plant height (cm) , number of tillers, fresh weight (g) dry weight (g), test weight (g), grain yield (qha-).the soil treated with different levels of sewage sludge ( 0Kg, 4 Kg, 8 Kg, 12 Kg ) Duration of the investigation lasted for two seasons. All plant parameter as plant height, number of tillers, dry &fresh weight, test weight and grain yield were significantly effected with increasing levels of sewage sludge on both experiments years 2012- 13&2013-14 on crops wheat and barley. The treatment T3, T7 were found the maximum vegetative growth effected because it’s the high level of sewage sludge.
