Abstrakt: Over exploitation of nutrients in the eastern dry zone of Karnataka has had an adverse effect on the natural environment, highlighting the need for research on soil characteristics and their influence on the cultivation of tomatoes. The objective of the study was to assess the pros and cons of different soil properties for the intensive farming of tomatoes in Karnataka's eastern dry zone. The present study analysed the effects of annual tomato cultivation, which cultivated once, twice and three times a year on the correlation between soil physical, chemical and biological properties in intensively cultivated soils in Karnataka, India. By using SPSS and XLSTAT for correlation was assessed. it was found positive correlations between soil properties and 19 soil parameters indicators out of 26 parameters, including exchangeable Mg and volume of expansion. However, it also an inverse correlation between 07 soil properties in intensive cultivation of tomato. By implementing appropriate soil management strategies, farmers can mitigate the adverse effects of nutrient over exploitation and ensure sustainable tomato cultivation in the region.
