The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different management systems in soils physical attributes of a Typic Quartzipisamment and of a Rhodic Hapludox. Evaluations were made for the soil density, the total volume of pores and the mechanical resistance to the penetration of the soil. Both management systems and the use of the soil promoted increase in the density of the soil, decrease of the total volume of pores and variation of the resistance of the soil to the penetration. The Typic Quartzipisamment presented decrease of the macroporosity.
