Assessment of tolerance of Zea mays and physiochemical properties of soil at flooded areas was conducted in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Five (5) sampling units (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5) in an area prone to seasonal flooding were selected alongside a non-flooded terrain (control-P0). Germination studies were conducted two (2) weeks before the onset of flood in the experimental sites, while a corresponding set up was maintained at the control site. Three (3) seeds of the crop were sown in the experimental soil per planting point with five (5) replicates. The experimental set up was maintained under natural light condition for twenty eight (28) days. Physicochemical properties of the experimental soil and the test crop growth parameters were examined. Soil pH, the contents of nitrogen and phosphorus were lower in the flooded soils relative to that of the non-flooded area. Higher contents of exchangeable calcium, and potassium were recorded at the normal soil relative to the flooded soil. The proportions of clay and silt fractions in the flooded soils were higher relative to that of the non-flooded area. The shoot length, root length, fresh weight and dry weight of the test crop were lower in the flooded soils comparable to the normal soil. This study suggests that the impacts of flooding on agricultural soils are deleterious, thus, appropriate management strategies are required to reduce the effects of this menace on
