Exploration of Crucial Factors Involved in Plants Development Using the Fuzzy AHP Method

Abstract

Remarkable changes in the environment have been impacting the production ability of plants. Few variation strategies are available to adapt for the outcomes of environmental changes such as maximum and minimum temperature in the development phase of the plants. A large portion of the plants expresses affectability to saltiness of the dirt. Considering the tediousness of various kinds, it is needful to perceive the possible obstructions in plants development. However, it has been observed that critical factors in plants development are required to be explored. The prime objective of this current work is for analysis of the chosen critical factors in plants development. Nine critical factors in plants development are shortlisted from the extensive literature reviewing in three categories, “climate factors”, “terrestrial factors”, and “human factors” with the help of experts’ inputs. Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) methodology has been selected for ranking of critical factors in plants development. Raw information is gathered from an online survey from twenty-five botanists, academicians, researchers, and agriculture scientists. The results may become very helpful in the strategy in developing efficient planning for dealing with critical factors in plants development.

Tomato Response Evaluation through Fertilization and PGRs Application under Temperature Differentiation in Late Winter

“…Light, temperature and humidity are the major environmental factors influencing the plant physiological functions [24,25], photosynthesis and hormonal balance [26] and key active processes in plants life [27,28] including the transition from one development stage to the next [29,30,31] . Besides environmental issues, edaphic elements also have remarkable influence on plant growth and development [32] as soil nutrient availability is one of the absolute needs of plants [33,34].…”

Chronobiology of Viscum album L.: a time series of daily metabolomic fingerprints spanning 27 years

“…These should be taken into account to determine the most favourable harvesting time and ensure the final medicinal product has the optimum effect. Nevertheless, the growth/ripening processes of plants are also influenced by environmental factors ( Upadhyay et al, 2022 ) which vary greatly depending on geographical position. For this reason, precise standardized recommendations do not exist.…”

The effect of site conditions and type of ramet clusters on sexual and asexual ramets of Solidago × niederederi (Asteraceae)

“…Some hybrids show reduced root formation, impaired nutrient absorption, lower shoot biomass and unsuccessful reproduction (Chen et al 2013;Calvo-Baltanás et al 2021). The most important abiotic factors influencing plant growth are soil moisture and soil nutrient availability, as well as soil and air temperature, precipitation, photoperiod and solar radiation (Chatzistathis and Therios 2013; Upadhyay et al 2022). Determining the environmental factors that enhance the biomass production of alien-native hybrids may help to delineate the habitats that are most vulnerable to their establishment and invasion, as well as in developing methods for controlling invasive hybrids.…”
