%X The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of zinc and cadmium heavy metals and the interaction of these
  heavy metals on mazie¡¯s (Zea mays L. cv. MAT 97) root and shoot elongation, dry weight, root/shoot dry weight
  ratio and ascorbate peroxidase (AP) enzyme activity. Cd¡¯s high concentration and treatment of this heavy metal
  with zinc had significant statistical effect on mazie root and shoot elongation. While zinc treatment had a positive
  effect on root elongation, Cd treatmen had a negative effect on shoot elongation. Therefore the treatment of Zn with
  Cd had positively effected shoot elongation. 10 and 15 ¦ÌM Cd treated maize¡¯s root and shoot dry weights had
  significantly decreased according to control and there has no significant stataistical diffrence between 5 ¦ÌM Zn or
  Cd+Zn treated maize regarding shoot dry weight. The differences in root and shoot water% ratio and root/shoot
  ratio are found to be insignificant. The increase of ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activity in 10 ¦ÌM, 15 ¦ÌM Cd
  and 5 ¦ÌM Zn and Zn+Cd treated maize is found to be in significant levels according to control
