Spatial humidity variability in a Fluvisol in the Paquito Rosales Benítez Agricultural Company

Abstract

The research was carried out in the crop company “Paquito Rosales Benítez” of Veguita in the municipality of Yara, Granma province, with the purpose of analyzing what is related to the spatial variability of soil moisture and the behavior of ambient temperature in Several hours of the day. Two systematic designs were used: in grids at 5 m distance between points and transept at 1 m sampling distances, in which humidity and temperature were measured with a high precision instrument, before and after grade work. As a result, it was observed that in general there was a spatial structure in the humidity, the machinery caused loss in the percentage of humidity and a well-defined spatial structure with an anti-persistent behavior to the sampling scale used.
