Item Technical and economic viability of manual harvesting coffee yield maps(Editora UFLA, 2020) Faria, Rafael de Oliveira; Silva, Fábio Moreira; Ferraz, Gabriel Araújo e Silva; Herrera, Miguel Angel Diaz; Barbosa, Brenon Diennevan Souza; Alonso, Diego José Carvalho; Soares, Daniel VeigaPrecision coffee growing is a concept that implies the use of precision agriculture techniques in coffee plantations. For the coffee growing, the precision electronic resources coupled to the harvesters are very scarce. Thereby, the harvest of coffee plantations that compose the grid sampling for generation of thematic maps can be performed manually. The aim of the present study was to generate a linear regression model to estimate the time required to harvest, estimate the labor costs to harvest manually the georeferenced sample points for generation of coffee yield maps. The study was performed in a coffee area of 56 hectares using two sampling points per hectare, totaling 112 points, being evaluated four coffee plants for each point. The manual harvest of the points was performed by four rural workers with experience in the coffee harvest. Afterwards, the collected volume was measured by a graduated container and the times were obtained by the digital stopwatch. Based on the data obtained in the field, a linear correlation model was established between the harvest time of each sampling point and the yield of the point, whose R² value was 78.27, cost was R$ 8.92 per point. These results are relevant for estimating the amount of labor force required to generate manually harvest yield maps according to the producer’s coffee yield estimate, contributing to the closure of the precision coffee growing cycle.Item Spatial variability of soil penetration resistance in coffee growing(Editora UFLA, 2018-07) Andrade, Alan Delon; Faria, Rafael de Oliveira; Alonso, Diego José Carvalho; Ferraz, Gabriel Araújo e Silva; Herrera, Miguel Angel Diaz; Silva, Fábio Moreira daThe intensive use of machines in agriculture tends to cause soil compaction, which can hamper the expansion of root system and the absorption of water and nutrients, thus affecting the crop development. In view of the above, the present study aimed to identify critical zones of soil compaction, through the spatial distribution of soil penetration resistance (SPR), having positions within the coffee rows and soil depth ranges as variables. The study was performed in a coffee plantation of 7.32 ha, belonging to the Bom Jardim Farm, located in the municipality of Bom Sucesso, MG, Brazil. The SPR was measured using a penetrometer in the depth range from 0 to 0.40 m, with discretization in four layers of 0.10 m. The data were interpreted based on geostatistics, in order to identify if there is spatial dependence of the SPR and generate thematic maps demonstrating the variable’s spatial behavior. It is concluded that there is spatial dependence of soil penetration resistance, being possible to use geostatistical tools to generate thematic maps based on classes of soil penetration resistance. The values of SPR in the tractor trail, for layers from 0.10 to 0.20 and from 0.20 to 0.30 m, were classified in the high SPR class and could cause damage to the crop.
