The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the urban waste compost on the yield and heavy metals concentrations in red beet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) in soils with different textures. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse in polyethylene recipients of 9 dm3. The experimental treatments resulted from a 3 x 4 factorial arrangement of a Red Yellow Latosol, sandy clay loam, (LVAfaa), a Red Yellow Latosol, loamy sand, (LVAfa) and a Quartzarenic Neosol, sand loam, (RQ), combined with the urban waste compost doses of 0, 30, 60 and 90 t/ha, in dry base. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with three replications of the treatments. Soil pH, fresh and dry matter weight and Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb and Ni concentrations in the soil and the leaf tissue were determined. Amongst heavy metals determined, Zn and Cu had been only influenced by the soil texture, being biggest concentrations in the soil with bigger amount of clay. The dry and fresh weights of the red beet root had increased with the increment of the doses of compost, having reached maximum values, inside of the experimental interval, with the 90 t.ha-1. Otherwise, the heavy metal content in red beet root decreased with the increase of the doses of compost. As much the Ni how much the Pb had presented content level in root above of the allowed maximum limits for the consumption, as values established for the Brazilian legislation.
