abstract_textpThe study aimed to evaluate chemical, microbiological and hydro-physical changes of a Dystrophic Yellow Latosol, receiver of different levels of manipueira (cassava wastewater) application, in the cultivation of 'Terra Maranhao' banana. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replications in a factorial scheme 3 x 4, in which it was considered three soil depths and four levels of manipueira. It was evaluated the weighted mean diameter of the aggregate, the percentage of aggregation at different periods, soil density, particle density, porosity and soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, in addition to pH of P (mg dm (-3)), K (mg dm(-3)), Ca (cmolc dm(-3)), Mg (cmolc dm(-3)), Ca+Mg (cmolc dm(-3)), Al (cmolc dm(-3)), Na (cmolc dm(-3)), H+Al (cmolc dm-3), CEC (cmolc dm-3), V, OM (g kg(-1)), soil microbial biomass (Ug Cg(-1) dry soil), acid phosphatase (Ug PNP g(-1) h(-1)). The use of manipueira influenced some physical characteristic of the soil, but it was not possible to specify the effect of increasing application dosage. Therefore, the application did not affect the biological indicators assessed in the soil or its pH. The use of manipueira as a fertilizer in the doses used in this study showed low increase of K, P, H+Al and Al in the soil and a good increase of Mg, Ca and Ca+Mg, Na, CEC and V./p/abstract_text
