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

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.
