This paper presents an analysis of the soil’s susceptibility to water erosion and use conflicts in the microregion of Tangará da Serra/MT. The morphopedological compartments of the area were delineated, and maps were generated indicating erodibility, susceptibility, and susceptibility to water erosion, the spatial and temporal distribution of sugarcane and the conflicts over land use. The results showed that 36 % of soil in the microregion was of very high erodibility, 14.99 % was of high erodibility, and 49.01 % was of low erodibility. We verified that 38.07 % of the microregion belongs to the class of high susceptibility to water erosion and 31.30 % to the class of average potential. Areas with higher potential erosion have been used for agriculture and livestock. Barra do Bugres municipality exhibited the highest expansion of sugarcane (941 % during the past 21 years). Of the area of the microregion 87.5 % exhibited conflicts over land use. Of the area cultivated with sugarcane, 82.06 % is located in areas of conflict over use.
