A Statistical Analysis Of Effects Of Temperature And Rainfall On Cassava Yield In Umudike
ABSTRACT
For
this study, data were collected on the cassava yield, temperature and rainfall
of National Root Crops Research Institute Umudike (NRCR1) for the period of
1982 — 1992 and discussed. The ultimate objective of this study is to construct
a mathematical model which could be used to predict reliable and dependable
future cassava yields for specified levels of rainfall and temperature. These
data were analyzed using linear Regression Analysis. The fitted model is ?i
=25.7013 +0.3701X11-0.0640X21 Which can be used for prediction in subsequent
years. The parameters of the model were found to be non-significant. That is,
the cassava yields did not seem to depend on temperature and rainfall. This
result appears to be at variance with the expected result. And hence it is suggested
that further investigation be carried out to determine the method of collection
and recording of data on cassava yield, temperature and rainfall at National
Root Crops Research Institute NRCRI) or perhaps as a result ol the variation of
rainfall or temperature within the years under consideration.
