Abstract: This study assessed the impact of different land use systems (Rice-Wheat, Legume-Based, Vegetable-Based, and Horticulture-Based, Salt-Affected Soils, and Pasture/Forest) on key soil health indicators in Akhand Nagar block, Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Soil samples (0-15 cm depth) were analysed for physical and chemical properties. Results revealed significant variations: Pasture/Forest systems exhibited the highest organic carbon (6.77 g kg⁻¹), available nitrogen (234.10 kg ha⁻¹), and phosphorus (20.20 kg ha⁻¹), with the lowest bulk density (1.30 Mg m⁻³) and pH (7.63). Conversely, Salt-Affected Soils had the highest pH (9.07), EC (1.20 dS m⁻¹), and lowest organic carbon (2.76 g kg⁻¹) and nutrients. Vegetable-Based systems showed increased bulk density (1.41 Mg m⁻¹). Organic carbon strongly correlated with nitrogen and phosphorus availability, while pH negatively impacted nutrients. Findings highlight the critical role of sustainable land management in maintaining soil health and fertility.
