| Abstract: | Determination of the chemical characteristics of soil for balanced fertilization on large scales is an important factor in achieving a precision agriculture. Laboratory analyses of soil properties are usually expensive and time consuming. Surmounting these problems is possible using geostatistics. Therefore, this research aims at selecting a proper interpolation method using 213 soil samples for alfalfa farmland in Hamadan Province, Iran. Various factors such as pH, EC,   | |
