RESUMO

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to use the spatial bootstrap method to model the spatial dependence structure of soybean yield and soil chemical attributes in an agricultural area. The study involved developing confidence intervals in probability plots to determine the probability distributions assumed by the data; determine the empirical distributions of the semivariances and model parameters, allowing to obtain statistics and confidence intervals; and to construct maps for the variables. The quantile-quantile plots indicated that the data follows a normal distribution. The confidence intervals for the semivariances helped to model the spatial dependence structure, and the descriptive statistics of the bootstrap replicates of the model parameters allowed to test the consistency of the estimates. The soil chemical attributes (calcium, potassium, and organic matter) were at levels suitable for soybean cultivation. However, the pH was below the ideal range in most of the study area, and water stress during cultivation decreased the mean yield. Therefore, according to the results, a recommendation to the farmer is to correct the soil pH to increase the yield.
