The aim of this study was to determine the effect of giving ArbuscularMycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), to the toxicity of Millet seeds (Foxtail millet) contaminated with batik waste water. This study used seeds contaminated with batik waste water with the addition of AMF and without AMF (negative control), as well as water-treated waste, Millet seeds that were not polluted with batik waste water with and without AMF added with distilled water (positive control). The results showed that AMF addition had an effect on reducing the toxicity of Millet seeds contaminated with batik waste water. Millet exposed to batik wastewater with the provision of AMF + water produced the best value of 57.78% germination, 42.22% inhibition, highest leaf length 1.13 cm, plumulae 1.89 cm, radics 1.58 cm. The provision of AMF is promising in preventing pollutants from entering plants as well as improving soil quality.
