The growth of Thespesia populnea (L.) Soland, ex. Correa, was studied in soils collected from Khan Towel, Tanveer Garment, One Tech Rubber and One Tech Ply Board factories in the vicinity of Korangi and Landhi industrial areas. A numbers of growth parameters were higher in almost all of the industrial locations soils mainly of One Tech; Ply Board factory soil, Tanveer Garment, Khan Towel and One Tech Rubber factory soils, respectively as compared to Karachi University soil. One Tech Ply Board factory soil fairly increased several growth properties like plant height, number of leaves, plant cover, shoot length, leaf area, root, shoot, leaf and total plant dry weights, specific leaf area and leaf area ratio whereas root, seedling length and root/shoot ratio were substantially enhanced in the treatment of Tanveer Garment factory soil.
