Spatial analysis of bean productivity in municipalities in the years of 2006, 2010 and 2014

Abstract

The state of Paraná has been standing out in the national scenario in relation to the production of the bean crop, since it is the main producer of the grain, and in 2014 it reached 25% of the national production. Thus, due to this significant participation in the production of this leguminous, the objective of the present study is to analyze the pattern of spatial association of bean productivity in relation to land in Paraná in the years of 2006, 2010 and 2014. Through the ESDA, we verified a positive autocorrelation in the data. With respect to the clusters, we also verified that over time there were modifications and overflow of them, and in 2014 the clusters of productivity BB were concentrated in the Northwest of Paraná region, whereas the AA clusters concentrated mainly in the Southeast, Eastern Center and Center South of Paraná. The analysis from the bivariate Moran I statistic revealed positive temporal spatial autocorrelation, thus showing that time also influences the data structure.
