The farmlands that were chosen in this work were four (4), which includes Nagari Farm (Gauta Keffi local government), Sharna farm (Abuja Road Karu local government), Gyunkas integrated farm (Kokona local government) and Gunduma farm (Kaduna road, Karu local government respectively. This research aimed at accessing some selected physiochemical properties of soil samples which includes pH of the soil, electric conduction (EC), totality of organic carbonate (TOC) and totality of organic nitrogens (TON). The physical and chemical characteristics of the samples of soil were examined using approved standards method for each of them. The result obtained in this study, showed that there is moderate acid in the soil and also, there are some matters that are organic in nature and ionisable materials. Overall results of both pH, EC, TOC and TON analysis of the soil samples investigated were within the standard limits of WHO and FAO.
