Abstract
Cover crops are important to improve soil quality. However, soil properties usually have some spatial dependence. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the performance of winter cover crops on physical properties of soil and soybean yield using thematic maps. There were five winter treatments: black oat; intercropping 1 (forage turnip and black oat); intercropping 2 (forage turnip, black oat and common vetch), wheat and control. Macro and microporosity, total porosity, bulk density and water content of soil, from 0 - 0.1 m depth, were evaluated after winter cover crops management. Soybean was sown on the whole area at summertime after winter cover crops management and its yield was determined for each treatment. Maps for each treatment were elaborated and compared to the control using the relative deviation coefficient (RDC). The cover crops have improved total macroporosity of soil in some regions of the studied area. The black oat was more efficient in maintaining higher water content of soil and it can be recommended to decrease bulk density.
