Abstract

Data for analyses were acquired in 2009 from two commercial fields cropped with the winter wheat (cv. Fregata and Potenzial) in Kujavia region (villages Miechowice and Osłonki). On the basis of soil and plant samples (with known geographical coordinates) collected in 25 sampling points on each field the following traits were examined: grain yield, grain protein content, soil fertility in P2O5, K2O and MgO and soil pH. Geostatistical methods in R software using geoR package (functions: variog() and variofit()) were applied for the data analyses. Spatial variability of the investigated traits was evaluated using parameters of the theoretical variograms.
