The quality of roadside soil along the NH3 highway of high traffic density at Morena- M.P. was studied during 2010-11 at 12 different locations. The roadside soil was found to be highly contaminated. This is evident from the modification of the soil pH, Electrical conductance, Water holding capacity and other Physico-chemical properties when compared to natural soil. The presence of heavy metals like Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe in the roadside soil was also considerable.
