The objective of the present study was to evaluate chemical changes of soils treated with coffee fruit washing and pulping wastewater (CWW). The experiment was carried out in PVC columns, where it was applied four doses of CWW (0, 174, 522, and 870 t ha-1) in two Yellow Argisoil split into four layers in two incubation periods (30 and 60 days). The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement, and it was analyzed calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, pH and electric conductivity of the saturated paste extract. The CWW doses affected chemical soil properties in both incubation periods evaluated increasing Ca++, Na+ and mainly K+ in both soils. The CWW dose of 174 t ha-1 increased K+ concentration in soil to the recommended level according to nutrition necessity of the crop. The surface layer presented higher concentration of K+, Na+, Ca++ and, consequently, higher ECes.
