The effect of different land use types can bring adverse effect on selected physical and chemical properties of soil. The different land use types such as cultivated, grass, grazing, homestead, forest and plantation lands directly or indirectly affect the physical and chemical properties of soil characterized by different physico-chemical properties of soil though they are on the same topography of the landscape. The physical properties of soil include structure, texture, soil water characteristics, bulk density and porosity of soil. Whereas the chemical properties of soil included in this senior seminar are soil reaction (pH), soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorous, exchangeable bases, cation exchange capacity and percent base saturation of soil. Each parameter of both physico-chemical properties is different from one land use types to the others land use types by indicating more or less significant variation under each land use types. These occurrences of disparity amongst physico-chemical parameters are resulted from over utilization of land and shifting of one land use type into the other land use form with improper managements which is so need the proper managements and conservation to ensure sustainable utilization of resources and productivity of land.
