Abstract

The study was aimed to assess the soil quality index of industry area soil. Seasonal variations in physic-chemical such as pH, EC, TDS, TH, TA, Ca, Mg. Na and K were analyzed. The results indicated that most of the physic-chemical components found within the acceptable limit whereas the value of some components found beyond the permissible limit.

Keywords

Soil, Physico-Chemical parameters and Seasonal variations
