 An experiment was conducted in the collage of Agriculture ,University of kufa , during the growing season of 20016-2017 to study the effects of irrigation with magnetized water(MW) at density level of 1600 gauss, the fungus Aspergillus and the herbicide Granstar (at 50% and 100% of the recommended dose) on wheat growth parameters and yield. Results showed that Aspergillus spp interacted with MW  significantly resulted in the highest values of NPK content and yield compared to the lowest values from the Granstar and weedy control treatments with and without MW, respectively. On the other hand, irrigation with MW always resulted in higher values of tested parameters than that those irrigated with regular water, all treatments interacted with MW had better and higher effects compared to of those interacted with regular water. The study showed that using the bio-controlling agent Aspergillius spp decreased weed and increased wheat growth. and using magnetized water is useful for better growth parameters and yield in wheat fields. 

Experiment was conducted during the growing season of summer 2014 in a rice field at Al-Hira district in the province of Najaf to examine two factors, water type (magnetized MW and regular RW) and herbicide (Nominee and Rainbow at full and half of the recommended dose) and their effects on rice growth parameters including plant height, number of branches, fresh and dry weight. The experiment was two factorial base on Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. Results showed significant differences among all treatments in the experiment. The MW treatment significantly resulted in higher values of all parameters tested compared to the RW and weedy treatments, respectively. However, values of tested plant parameters were higher in both herbicides treatments with no significance compared to those of the MW treatment but at the same time were significantly much higher where compared to other treatments. Comparison between the herbicides showed that Nominee resulted in higher, but not significant, growth parameters compared those of the herbicide Rainbow. While, interaction among all treatments showed that the best results were from MW interacted with Nominee over other interaction treatments. Magnetized water in this study was approver to be effective treatment in supporting all growth parameters in rice crop fields.
