<br/><br/> Concentration of different roadside soil amendment (0, 50, 75 and 100%) were<br/>prepared by mixing with garden (control) soil. All pollution parameters were<br/>determined in the different concentrations of soil i.e, pH, TDS, ECe, CO3, HCO3. The<br/>values of all these parameters increased with increased the concentrations of soil and<br/>increasing trend was Pb>Cd. Nerium indicum L. was grown in these concentrations for<br/>35 days of the experiment. The growth parameters i.e, root length, shoot length, no. of<br/>roots and no. of leaves were recorded in all soil concentrations. The maximum growth<br/>was found to be in 100% and minimum in 50% and no growth was observed in 0%<br/>concentrations. The accumulation of heavy metals Pb and Cd was observed and<br/>increasing trend was Pb>Cd. The amount of protein was also detected in all plants that<br/>grown in different concentrations of soil. The amount of protein increased with<br/>increasing the concentrations. The SOD was determined in plants parts increased with<br/>increasing concentrations of soil. The aim of the study was to check the effect of heavy<br/>metals in Nerium indicum L. by growing in different concentrations of roadside soil.<br/>The plant was further assessed to determine the role of protein and antioxidants<br/>activities.
