Evaluation of rapeseed varieties using novel integrated fuzzy PIPRECIA – Fuzzy MABAC model

Abstract

Decision making is constantly present in agriculture. Choosing the wrong variety carries the risk that the investment in terms of sowing does not pay off at all. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the variety that gives the best results. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to apply multi-criteria decision-making of available varieties, which is, in this paper, done on the example of hybrid varieties of rapeseed that were created by selection at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. By applying fuzzy logic, a novel integrated Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model is developed and rapeseed varieties were evaluated. For determining four main and 20 subcriteria, fuzzy PIPRECIA (PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment) method has been applied based on fuzzy Bonferroni operator, while for ranking alternatives fuzzy MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison) method has been used. The results obtained using the novel integrated fuzzy MCDM model showed that the variety A2 – Zorica has the best results, followed by A1 - NS Ras, while the worst results were seen by the variety A5 - Zlatna. These results were confirmed using other five fuzzy MCDM methods. Sensitivity analysis—changing criteria weights showed the worst results in the variety A6 - Jovana, which took last place in the application of 18 scenarios. The presented model and the results of this research will help farmers to solve this decision problem.

Evaluating Logistics Villages in Turkey Using Hybrid Improved Fuzzy Swara (Imf Swara) and Fuzzy Mabac Techniques

“…In literature, it is suggested to examine the impacts of adding or eliminating a decision alternative to test the consistency of the model (Nedeljković et al, 2021). It is performed to measure the resistance of the proposed model to the rank reversal problem.…”

“…Furthermore, it gives importance to potential earnings and loss (Ecer, 2020;Puška et al, 2021). The implementation steps of the technique used for identifying the preference ratings of the alternatives are presented as follows (Pamucar & Cirovic, 2015;Bobar et al, 2020;Nedeljković et al, 2021;Jokić et al, 2021;Božanić et al, 2019).…”

Market Assessment of Pear Varieties in Serbia Using Fuzzy CRADIS and CRITIC Methods

“…The results of the regression analysis show that it is important for customers that the pear is red, with small amounts of seeds, and that it is easy to peel. Nedeljković et al [12] used fuzzy PIPRECIA (pivot pairwise relative criteria importance assessment) and MABAC (multi-attributive border approximation area comparison) methods to evaluate hybrid oilseed rape varieties.…”

Small Hotel Location Selection Problem: The Case of Cappadocia

“…Markovic et al (2020) developed a novel integrated model that consists of fuzzy PIPRECIA and CRITIC (criteria importance through intercriteria correlation). Nedeljković et al (2021) used PIPRECIA and MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) models to rank the supplier. PIPRECIA is utilized to weight criteria and sub-criteria.…”
