RESUMO

The agricultural quality and yield are highly related with the water readiness, because its privation can cause significant damages in critical periods. Due to that reason, irrigation becomes an important way of readiness water maintenance, with the goal of obtaining high level of agricultural quality and yield. The thematic maps have a very important role in the precision agriculture making decision. For that kind of maps generation, there are free code libraries and interfaces, like TerraLib, SOMCode and aRT, whit algorithms to accomplish data interpolation with reliable precision, and also to group data from areas with similar behavior. In the present work, data were obtained from sensor grid of a pilot unit of the Irrigap system, developed by Embrapa Instrumentação Agropecuária, referring to hourly measures of soil moisture and temperature and air temperature. Different interpolation methods were used, with the intention of verify the best way to generate maps to make possible the visualization of areas with the same behavior related to the soil and the climatological variables, know as management zones. Obtained results show that the identification of these zones is possible, since the correct algorithms are used for each situation. Besides that, was observed that the software developed to generate thematic maps using real data can be important for making decision in precision agriculture and to provide benefits like saving water and energy during the irrigation period.
