The objective of this work was to investigate chemical changes in the soil, in response to application of filtered domestic wastewater and to compare the results with the conventional agricultural management. The experiment was carried out at the Pilot Sewer Treatment Plant and Irrigated Agriculture located at Federal University of Viçosa. The experimental design consisted of 18 plots, with eight plants each. The treatments were distributed in split-plots, the main plots being the management types (CM-conventional and WM-domestic wastewater with five different water depths) and the subplots soil depths (0 - 0.20; 0.20 - 0.40 and 0.40 - 0.60 m) in randomized blocks consisting of three repetitions. According to the results it may be concluded that the application of WM was more effective to improve soil fertility than CM.
