Spatial distribution of physical attributes of an Ultisol under papaya crop
The successful development of the root system of plants depends on the favorable conditions of soil physical attributes. The objective of this work was to study the spatial variability of physical attributes in an Ultisol cultivated with papaya. The soil was prepared mechanically plowing, harrowing, sulcal and subsoiler. In the center of the crop field was built a sampling grid with points spaced 5.7 m, totalizando129 georeferenced points. The soil samples at two depths (0 - 0.20 m, 0.20 - 0.40 m) were collected for four months after transplantation, to determine the total porosity (TP), soil moisture (Um), soil bulk density (BD) and soil penetration resistance in the planting row (PRPR) and in the traffic machines rows (PRRow). The soil penetration resistance in the planting row and in the traffic machines row was determined. The BD1 and BD2 showed the lowest CV values, and the data were fitted to the exponential and spherical models, respectively, with spatial dependence ranges of 20 and 28 m. At the layer of 0-0.20 m depth, the attributes showed the same spatial distribution pattern. At the layer of 0-0.20 m depth, the soil penetration resistance showed 7.5 times greater in the traffic machines region (rw spacing) than the value found in the planting row.The successful development of the root system of plants depends on the favorable conditions of soil physical attributes.

Variabilidade espacial e temporal da produtividade do cafeeiro canephora
GIS techniques have been used in many agricultural crops to study and assess the causes of spatial and temporal variability in production. The spatial and temporal variability of the canephora (conilon) coffee productivity was analyzed in the present work in three consecutive agricultural years (harvests) using geoprocessing techniques. A sampling grid with 109 georeferenced points was built with five plants per point. Significant differences in productivity were observed, with the lowest productivity recorded for the harvest 3 in 93.5% of the area. The productivity index (YI) varied from -18.0% in harvest 2 to harvest 1 and from -57.0% in harvest 2 to harvest 3, showing increasing decrease between different harvests.Em várias culturas, tem-se utilizado técnicas de geoprocessamento com intuito de estudar e interpretar as causas da variabilidade espacial e temporal da sua produção. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido objetivando-se analisar a variabilidade espacial e temporal da produtividade do cafeeiro canephora (conilon) em três safras consecutivas, utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento. Uma malha amostral foi construída com 109 pontos georreferenciados, considerando cinco plantas por ponto. As produtividades apresentaram diferenças significativas, com menor produtividade na safra 3, em 93,5% da área. O índice de produtividade (IP) ficou da safra 2 para a 1 em -18,0% e da safra 3 para a 2 em -57,0%, mostrando redução crescente entre as diferentes safras
Variabilidade espacial de atributos químicos em um Argissolo sob pastagem
Studies show the importance of knowing the variability of soil attributes for a more efficient management. This work was carried out to evaluate the spatial variability of the chemical attributes of an Ultisol, cultivated with Brachiaria decumbens pasture in Alegre - ES. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 00-0.2 m, at the crossing points of a regular grid with 10 m-intervals, comprising a total of 64 points. Data were submitted to descriptive statistics, geostatistics and kriging interpolation analysis. The coefficient of variation was low for pH, high for Al and m%, and medium the other attributes. The attributes pH, P, H+Al and m% presented strong dependence, and the other moderate dependence. The attributes presented a spatial dependence structure, allowing their mapping by geostatistics techniques
Lógica fuzzy na avaliação da fertilidade do solo e produtividade do café conilon
The objective of this study was to analyze, using the geoestatistic and a system of classification fuzzy, the fertility of an experimental area with base in chemical attributes of the soil and its relationship with the productivity of the conilon coffee. The study was accomplished in the experimental farm of the INCAPER - ES. The soil samples were collected in the depth of 0 - 0.2 m, being analyzed the attributes: matches, potassium, calcium and magnesium, aluminum, sum of bases, cation exchange capacity (pH 7), and saturation percentage. The data were submitted to a descriptive, exploratory, and geostatistical analysis. A system of fuzzy classification was applied using the attributes described to infer about the fertility of the soil and its relationship with the productivity of the culture. The fertility possibility presented positive spatial relationship with the productivity of the culture, with higher values of this where the possibility of fertile soil is superior
Space analysis of water erosion in the red-yellow latosol under conilon coffee cultivation
This work aimed to study the space behavior of the water erosion in a red-yellow latosol. Then a study was developed in an area with colinon coffee cultivation in an Experimental Farm of Bananal do Norte of INCAPER in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim - ES. Soil samples were obtained from 0,0 to 0,20 m depth in an irregular grid with 109 samples. The analyzed variables were granulometric fractions, erodibility (K), natural erosion potential (PNE), soil loss (A) and erosion risk (RE). All the variables showed space dependency with moderate index of space dependency and similar standard of space distribution. The soil loss is related with the space distribution of the granulometric fractions
