Statistical Growth of Some Seasonal Plants – A Case Study

Statistics play a vital role in studying plant growth. It has been proved that plant growth follows the exponential trend statistics. The data of some seasonal plants has been taken and analyzed. Primrose (leaves and flowers), Geranium (leaves), Hibiscus (leaves), Yellow Lilium (leaves and flowers) and Dahlia (leaves) exhibited good fitting of growth data in exponential trend line R2 > 0.9 where as Geranium (flowers), Kalanchoe (leaves) and Kalanchoe (flowers) showed poor fitting with exponential trend R2 <0.8.
