Sampling Design of Soil Physical Properties in a Conilon Coffee Field

ABSTRACT Establishing the number of samples required to determine values of soil physical properties ultimately results in optimization of labor and allows better representation of such attributes. The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial variability of soil physical properties in a Conilon coffee field and propose a soil sampling method better attuned to conditions of the management system. The experiment was performed in a Conilon coffee field in Espirito Santo state, Brazil, under a 3.0 × 2.0 [...]
