Abstract: This paper presents statistical analysis of agricultural performance data by two stage systematic sampling (TSSS) scheme to check the variability in growth performance of various crops in state of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.), India. Two stage systematic (TSS) sampling scheme is utilized to estimate the minimum variation in yield production. Precise results of crop-wise yields are obtained. Percent rate of change of the crops yield has been calculated and comparison is made between the average yield production of state of A.P. across the years which indicate factors affecting the production of rice, cotton, sunflower, chilies, groundnuts and maize. The results show big variation with least production of maize in 2007-08, which indicates unsuitable natural climatic factors and irregularity in irrigation schedule. The usage of low-quality seed of cotton crop is the main cause of low productivity. Andhra Pradesh has moderate temperature suitable for rice crop. Main cause of variation in sunflower yield is the lack of cost and labour. |
Keywords and phrases: two state systematic sampling, percentages of change, R2 statistics, biased estimator.
