1. A Statistical Approach to Defining Coffee Management Zones: Integrating Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity, Altimetry and Satelitte Indices for Moisture Monitoring

Characterizing the spatial and temporal behavior of soil and plant attributes represents the elementary step toward adoption precision agriculture. The expanding availability of multi-temporal remote sensing imagery with enhanced spatial resolution has rendered the delineation of management zones (MZ) an increasingly feasible strategy, especially when the intention is to carry out spatially differentiated interventions considering the vegetative vigor throughout the crop cycle or the plant yield....
