With the development of agriculture, the use of new tools for the evaluation of the properties related to plant yields have become essential to improve the management of agricultural systems. The purpose of this study was to use a fuzzy model to investigate, based on soil chemical properties, the propagation of uncertainty of the acidity of a humic Red-Yellow Latosol (Oxisol) under Arabic coffee plantation. The soil was sampled at a depth of 0 - 0.2 m, in a grid, totaling 50 sampling points. The following attributes were determined: pH in H2O, exchangeable acidity (Al3+), potential acidity (H + Al) and Al saturation (m). The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and geostatistics. A fuzzy classification system was used based on the attributes described to infer on the soil acidity. Fuzzy logic, with the algorithm used, was efficient to characterize and map the uncertainties of acidity of the soil under study.
