The paper deals with statistical analyses of data on soil properties of Pellic Vertisols selected from the eastern as well western part of the Upper Thracian Lowland, in Southern Bulgaria. Based on the survey in 2019, 2020 and 2021 at conventional and organic farming the data was processed using the statistical package Statgraphics (Anova). Soil textural class was the same a light to heavy clay and the total porosity was low. Natural variability of soils was due to imposed local separateness of organic farming from conventional. None of the studied soil parameters have statistically significant difference by the depth of sampling. Mean pH(H2O) value varied per year of survey, which could be due to a different factors. Available forms of nutrients N, P and K have varied with statistically significant difference per year of survey also. Generally the mean pH(H2O) values were higher at conventional farming nearby Chirpan town. Positive trend was increasing of pH(H2O) in organic farming. The humus content was not affected by the farming system. Negative trend was decreasing of humus content over the years. The mean values on available phosphorus P2O5 and potassium K2O were higher at conventional farming; the available forms of mineral nitrogen were commensurate. The statistical processing of data showed that there was no statistically significant difference of main soil parameters in Pellic Vertisols under conventional and organic farming nearby Karnobat town.
