Characterization of soil physical and chemical properties under intensive application of chemical fertilizers and understanding the spatial distribution of soil properties is important to determine soil constraints to plant nutrition and appropriate management of soil resource. The objectives of this study were to determine the grade of spatial variability of alluvial soil physical and chemical properties under intensive cropping of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). A 4 623 has field was intensively sampled. Samples of soil were collected on a 1000 m x 250 m grid intensity from surface 196 and subsurface 93. Additionally, twenty six soil profiles 26 were sampled in three depths (0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm). Structural analysis of pH, nitrogen (N, %), phosphorous (P mg kg-1), potassium (K, mg kg-1), magnesium (Mg, cmol+ kg-1), electrical conductivity (EC, dS m-1) and content of sand (Ao, %), lime (Li, %) and clay (Ar, %) were modeled for the two horizons. All properties of soils, except Li and Ar contents showed non-normal distribution and the values of coefficients of variability (CV) were low (pH, N, EC), medium (Mg) and high (P, K, Ao, Li, and Ar). The one-way test indicated significant (p<0.05) differences in pH, N, P, K, EC, Ao and Ar between horizons. Geostatistical analysis illustrated that although all soil properties studied show from moderate to strong spatially dependent component, they were completely isotropic and predominant over the nugget effect. The size of aggregates of all properties studied was bigger than sampling range, except for P at subsurface level. Structured semivariogram functions of each variable after validation were used in generating fine-scale kriged contour maps. These maps allowed identifying the size and position of aggregates of soil physical and chemical properties studied establishing a fertilization program that optimizes the management of soils in site-specific farming
