Non-organic farming is not environmentally friendly, its management operations involve a lot of material that has the potential as a pollutant and free radicals, can affect the quality of the land of agricultural land. This study examines the presence of Cd, Pb heavy metals which can influence the nutrient levels of agricultural land. The study was conducted using the expose facto method, randomly taking 8 types of soil samples of agricultural land products with 4 replications in the agricultural land of Karangrejo Sub-District, Metro Utara, Metro Lampung City, in April 2019. Furthermore, samples were analyzed for the heavy metal content of Cd, Pb, N, P, K in the hope of knowing the relationship related to the availability of nutrients in agricultural land. Regression analysis and T-test showed that there were differences in the influence of the presence and levels of Cd, Pb metals on N, P, K levels in agricultural land. Heavy metals Cd, Pb contribute to suppressing levels of N, P, K in non-organic agricultural land.
