Soil is an important abiotic factor for plant communities. It serves as a habitat for plants. Plant growth and yield depends on soil physicochemical parameters. Eucalyptus species are used for medicinal properties. Eucalyptus species soil were collected from Thalavadi, Erode District. Altitude of Thalavadi is 823 m from sea level. Normal Eucalyptus tree soil and infected Eucalyptus tree soils were collected for the analysis of physicochemical parameters. Distance of these two soil samples were one feet only. Physicochemical parameters studies were carried out in Soil Testing and Technology Advisory Centre, TNAU, Coimbatore. No nutrient depletion was detected in both the soil samples. Macronutrients nitrogen, phosphorus were present in medium level in both the soil samples. Potassium was present in higher amount in two soil samples. Micronutrients were present in sufficient level in two soil samples. But there was variation between soil physicochemical properties of two samples.
