The study focused an assessing the influence of xenobiotics, such as NaCl and diesel oil on germination and early development of maize (Zea mays L.). Through the test the seed germination and growth inhibition of shoot and root of maize were evaluated. The experiments were carried out at different xenobiotics concentration and their mix. It was observed that the presence solely of compounds did not toxic for root growth, but i increase in their concentration caused decreasing of seed germination and root and shoot development. Both sodium chloride and diesel oil were more toxic for shoot and strongly inhibited its growth. The addition of diesel oil to soil contaminated with sodium chloride caused strongest inhibition of seed germination and plant growth.
