This study aimed to evaluate the values of pH and the levels of cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, copper, iron, manganese, zinc and sulphur in the soil profile, beyond the behavior of those elements with respect to the acidity of soil in tropical climate, in areas of influence of channels and reservoirs of vinasse used in fertigation of sugarcane plants (Saccharum officinarum L.). Adopted as treatment witness the soil under a natural untouched savannah area. The treatments of the first test consisted of vinasse channels with three periods of use: one, three and 20 years, totaling seven treatments (control and three channels, considering the parts internal and external), with four repetitions each. The second test consisted of four vinasse tanks with different periods of use, and found two seasons: three years (R3A and R3B) and 20 years (R20A and R20B) followed, constituting nine treatments (control and four tanks, measuring up the soil of the parties internal and external), with four repetitions each. In witness and on the outside of channels and reservoirs were collected samples of soil at depths of 0-25 cm, 25-50 cm, 50-75 cm and 75- 100 cm. On the inside (bottom) of channels and reservoirs, soil samples were collected at depths of 0-50 cm, 50-100 cm, 100-150 cm and 150-200 cm, in four different points in areas of Red Latosol Distrophic. The experimental design was sub-divided plots. The results from the soil analyses were subjected to analysis of variance and testing F and Tukey (P < 0.05). The use of vinasse channels and temporary reservoirs over the years didn t significantly alter the levels of heavy metals, suggesting that their contents accumulated in the soil are acceptable. However, channels and reservoirs should be covered with waterproofing material to prevent the leaching of these elements and therefore the contamination of the groundwater.
