Remote sensing (SR) has contributed to digital agriculture, associated with the use of geostatistical techniques that allow data acquisition, analysis and decision making. In view of this, the objective of this work was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil physical attributes, NDVI and second crop corn productivity in the territory of Santa Helena de Goiás, and to estimate values of crop coefficient (KC) through the NDVI, and to evaluate the spatiality. Soil samples were collected in a georeferenced way using a regular grid. The images were from the Sentinel 2A satellite. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated, the Kc values of the crop were estimated, using two methodologies Toureiro et al., (2017) and Kamble et al. (2013), and later the values were extracted through a regular GRID, with which the geostatistical analyzes and correlations with productivity were submitted. The NDVI showed an increase up to 69 days after planting, in addition to proving the spatial variability and spatial dependence. With the geostatistics it was possible to generate a map of the spatial distribution of productivity. The NDVI allowed to obtain the Kc corresponding to the different phases of cultivation, sensitive to the methodologies used. The Kc obtained presents a high response and potential to the management of irrigated corn..
