Comparison of Some Statistical Models for Describing Seedling Growth of Lolium perenne Plants in Early Period
Ufuk Karadavut

Abstract: This study was carried out at Central Anatolian Region ecological conditions. In this study were aimed to compare some statistical growth models for describing seedling growth in early period. Quadratic, square root, exponential and weibull models were used to describe seedling growth. Coefficient of determination and mean square error were used as comparison criteria. As results, when 1000 seeds weight increased, germination rate decreased. Also, when germination rate decreased, leaf length at 25 days and dry weight plant-1 at 25 days decreased, but no of days for 1st tiller to appear increased. Quadratic model explained better than other models for seedling growth.
