Abstract
This paper considers the effects on the soil properties of a minimum of 3 years ecological farming as compared with conventional farming practices. The investigation into the two farming practices is being conducted on farmers' fields in 4 different locations, e. g., Daulatpur, Dhamrai Gabtali, and Shibganj in Bangladesh. This 3-year investigation began in May 1997 and initially a soil survey was conducted with samples from the plough layer taken from all 4 locations. The soils were analysed for macro and micronutrients, together with physical and morphological properties. Due to the complexity of the farming practices a nutrient budget will be constructed from information on inputs and offtakes from the fields of the different farming practices
