Causes of Agricultural Soil Pollution from the Point of View of a Sample of Farmers and Agricultural Specialists in Baghdad

The current study seeks to identify the causes of agricultural soil pollution from the point of view of a sample of farmers and agricultural specialists in Baghdad. The researcher built a questionnaire consisting of two fields for each field (5) paragraphs. The researcher verified the validity and stability of the paragraphs, and after reassurance of those psychometric characteristics, the questionnaire was applied to the research sample consisting of (100), and the study reached the following results: • You think that industrial pollutants are the most important cause of soil pollution. • Ignorance in the use of pesticides affects soil pollution • One of the causes of soil pollution is the excessive use of irrigation as well as poor sanitation. • The leakage from oil pipelines and its derivatives contributed to raising the pollution of agricultural soil. • Desertification is one of the most important reasons that lead to the pollution of agricultural soil. • One of the most effective solutions offered in the treatment of soil pollution is to give more care to the soil by the official institutions • The use of modern global models in the field of specialization will contribute to reducing soil pollution. • The construction of dams as temporary solutions to contain the soil pollution crisis is important in the short term. • The extraction of groundwater and soil vapor using an active electromechanical system is important in solving the problem of soil pollution. • Treatment by plants such as willow to extract heavy metals contributes to purifying the soil from pollutants.
