SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF IRRIGATED COMMON BEAN YIELD CORRELATED WITH THE FERTILITY OF A SANDY SOIL
ABSTRACT The common bean is widely cultivated in Brazil. In the 2016–2017 growing season, an experiment was carried out in a Typic Quartzipsamment (or Neossolo Quartzarênico) soil in the municipality of Cassilândia, MS, Brazil, with the aim of characterizing specific aspects of soil management, using a linear and spatial correlation between the irrigated yield of common beans and the chemical properties of the soil. Soil samples were collected from layers at depths 0.00–0.10 and 0.10–0.20 m, within a grid of 117 georeferenced points. A data analysis was carried out using statistical and geostatistical techniques. A multiple regression analysis showed that about 31% of the grain yield variability of the irrigated common bean crop could be attributed to the spatial variability in the chemical properties of the soil. These properties have a spatial dependence that is classified as moderate and strong, with a predominantly Gaussian-type semivariogram model. Soil properties such as pH(1), pH(2), S(2) and V%(2) can be considered potential indicators of the grain yield of an irrigated common bean crop when cultivated in a sandy soil under a no-tillage system.
