Abstract

Based on the study of spatial variability, the cartography of six chemical soil parameters-boron, pH, electric conductivity, organic matter and chloride-in the Irrigation District 03, of Tula, State of Hidalgo, was prepared through interpolation using kriging. Cartography referring to total carbonates, soil depth, percentage of sand, silt and clay using a weighted moving average interpolation procedure was also prepared. Maps showing soil textural classes and areas differentiated according to time under irrigation and irrigation water quality were obtained, by processing data using a geographical information system. All maps refer to results on a regional basis. Recommendations for the use of geostatistical techniques in future studies are proposed... In order to continue, download full text in PDF.
