Resumo: Intensification of tropical grass pastures can be achieved through the grazing rotation, forage availability in the dry season, and building up soil fertility by liming and balanced fertilizer supplying. The knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the variable rate application of lime and fertilizers. PA requires methods to indicate the spatial variability of soil reducing the need for expensive and intensive sampling. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the soil chemical properties and maps the site specific liming and fertilizer need in a irrigated tropical pasture. The study was conducted in an area of 8 ha of pasture Mombaça-grass (Panicum maximum) irrigated and intensive managed in a rotational system with 48 paddocks in São Carlos, SP, Brazil. Soil samples were collected at 0?0.2 m depth with 6 sub-samples in each paddock. The values of soil P, K, CEC and basis saturation were analyzed by traditional soil testing. Apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) was measured with contact sensor. Spatial variability soil properties and site specific liming and fertilizer need were modeled using semivariograms and maps were obtained by kriging with Vesper software. Crop variation at this spatial scale was not affected by topography and other soil chemical properties related. NDVI and ECa had the same tendency of dry matter estimation. Results showed that the soil properties of study area are very homogeneous, and variable rate of potassium fertilizer has the potential to be adopted in the study area.
