Cement is made from heated calcium carbonate, clay and other compounds. These are normally naturally occurring, so will not 'harm' earth, however there is a more serious danger.

Cement production releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. The cement industry is second only to electricity generation for emitting carbon dioxide. 50% comes from the process and 40% comes from burning fuel in transport and production. Every 1000 tons of cement produces about 900 tons of carbon dioxide.

If you mean that can you put cement on earth and then grow plants, then the answer is no. Cement is a very toxic substance that does kill plants.
