摘要: Soil management practices determine the long term productivity of soil. A comparative study commercial organic and conventional vegetable farming systems was carried out to find impact different on soil properties. This executed in Kathmandu valley (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur Lalitpur districts) among 30 farmers. Semi-structured questionnaire survey physical chemical analysis were performed gather required information. Results showed that bulk pH significantly higher field than field. matter available potassium amount farm farm. Total nitrogen content Conventional farmers applied chicken manure biozyme as compared Organic urban compost bone meal  Farmers perceived increasing trend farms whereas it declining farms.
