    Precision agriculture is based on a set of techniques that explore the spatial variability of properties related to a determined area. The aim of this study was to develop and test a methodology to evaluate the quality of grid sampling. The experiment was performed in three areas of 112, 50 and 26 ha, in coffee plantations (Coffea arabica ) with cultivar Catuai 144, in the Três Pontas Farm, located in Presidente Olegário, MG, Brazil, in 2014 and 2015. A total of 224, 100, and 52 georeferenced points (2.0 points/ha) were plotted in the areas regarding the soil chemical properties, respectively: phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. For the application methodology the standardized accuracy index (SAI), the standardized precision index (SPI) and the standardized optimal grid indicator (SOGI) were developed and tested. From grid 1 (2 points/ha), another three sampling grids (1.0, 0.7 and 0.5 point/ha) were adopted. The indexes were important to analyze the grid quality, whereas the SOGI allowed selecting the grid that best represented the properties.

    Plant sampling grid determination in precision agriculture in coffee field
    (Editora UFLA, 2018-01) Ferraz, Gabriel Araújo e Silva; Oliveira, Marcelo Silva de; Silva, Fábio Moreira da; Sales, Ronan Souza; Carvalho, Luis Carlos Cirilo
    The aim of the present study was to evaluate different grid samples applied to plant properties of a coffee plantation by using precision coffee growing and geostatistical techniques. The study was performed at the Brejão Farm in the municipality of Três Pontas, MG, Brazil, using productivity, the maturation index and the detachment force difference, sampled at georeferenced points. With the intention of choosing an optimum grid, 20 grid samples were tested through semivariogram fitting and validation tests seeking to combine the accuracy and precision that the grid sample can present through an optimal grid indicator, allowing choosing a more suitable grid. It was possible to characterize the magnitude of the spatial variability of plant properties under study in all the proposed grids. The grid that best represented the three variables under study was the grid with 64 sample points in squared grid and nine zoom grid points. The proposed methodology for the present study allowed observing the difference among different grid samples and among the variables of plant productivity, maturity index and detachment force.
