In order to investigate the effect of adding  black tea leaves residue to contaminated soil  due to enhance  accumulating potential of  heavy metals  by sorghum spice  an experiment was carried out. The contaminated soil by heavy metals mixed by remaining infusion of  black tea ( 8:1).  Sorghum Bicolor and halepence    were cultivated into the research soil study. Results showed that S. Halepence  transition factors for all heavy metals in treated soil were higher than one and as expected the heavy metal  uptake rate by S. Bicolor  plant is significantly affected by tea leaves added to soil of plant cultivated .
