Abstract: 

Soil management systems, when performed properly, give good quality. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the physical properties of the soil and its inferences on the use and management of the soil in the Faculty of Agrarian and Technological Sciences of UNESP - Campus de Dracena / SP. The evaluated treatments were five areas: anthropic intervention, degraded pasture, no-till, reforestation and APP. Soil samples were collected in the depths: 0-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m for distribution and stability of aggregates in water, infiltration, porosity, density, resistance to soil penetration and gravimetric moisture. The attributes studied presented similar behaviors for all treatments, and the APP area obtained better results when compared to the areas of anthropic intervention, besides evidencing that the density and infiltration of water in the soil, showed better performance when purchased to the others studied, when referring to soil quality.
