A study was conducted for assessing nutrient status of vegetable growing area in Naubise, Jeevanpur and Kebalpur VDCs of Dhading district. These sites are pocket areas popularly for the vegetable production. A total of 36, 20 and 26 soil samples were collected from farmers’’ field at 0-20 cm depth by using soil sampling auger from Naubise, Jeevanpur and Kebalpur, respectively. Laboratory analysis for the determination of soil pH, OM, N, P2O5 and K2O was done following standard method in the laboratory of Soil Science Division, Khumaltar. The soil test data revealed that mean  soil pH (5.95±0.061) of Naubise site was slightly acidic, low in organic matter (OM) (2.45±0.15%), medium in total nitrogen (0.11±0.004%), very high in phosphorus (372.6±43.26 kg ha-1) and medium in potassium (245.3±59.3 kg ha-1)……………………..
