Spatial behavior of the agronomic variables of the 'Fuji' apple during two years in the planalto serrano of Santa Catarina state

The precision agriculture (AP) provide useful tool for evaluation agricultural risk in fruitculture and rational programming of its practical. The objective of this work was to evaluate spatial behavior of weight of fruits for plant (PP), number of fruits for plant (NF) and average weight of fruits for plant (PMF) in two years in the harvest of 2004 and 2005. The Fuji cultivar was selected in a commercial orchard in the city of São Joaquim - SC, Brazil. The data were imported to the Geographic Information System - GIS SPRING, where it was made a kriging to construct maps of spatial variability. In the harvest of 2005 there was a period of time with dry climate that they had influenced on the production. It had a reduction in the average values of PP and MF in relation to the previous year, but the PMF presented an addition. The geostatistics analysis made possible modeling the spatial behavior of the variables at the experimental area. The used GIS revealed satisfactory for the effected analyses.
