A Comparative Study of Nonlinear Growth Models on Teak (Tectonagrandis L.) in India
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This study presents a comparative study of the most commonly used six growth models Monomolecular, Gompertz, Logistic, Weibull, Von Bertalanffy and Chapmen Richard growth models for describing the growth pattern of Teak (Tectonagrandis L.) in India. Various methods of estimation are introduced to estimate the parameters of above mentioned model. Four sets of well-established teak data of India have been used for testing the validity of the models. The best fit model has been selected based on a selection criterion. According to the results of our calculation, it can be concluded that, the three parameter monomolecular growth model is more reasonable over the remaining growth models to describe the growth of Teak in India.
