Abstract:

To study the response of sorghum production to climate and environmental conditions in Tunliu District we explore the relationship between climatic factors and sorghum yield to provide theoretical and technical references for efficient production of sorghum. Firstly, the exponential smooth factor coefficient was optimized by the particle swarm optimization, and then the sorghum production was decomposed into two parts: trend production and meteorological production by the exponential smoothing for three times. Secondly, the absolute grey relational analysis was used to obtain the climate factors which had great influence on the meteorological production of sorghum, Finally, the multivariable linear regression model was fitted to the actual sorghum production in Tunliu District from 2004 to 2017. The model was verified by using the actual sorghum production in 2018. The results showed that the main climatic factors that affecting sorghum production were rainfall and duration of light in May, average relative humidity and rainfall in June, rainfall and duration of light in July, precipitation in August, and duration of light in September. In 2018, the accuracy of the multivariable linear regression model for sorghum production verification was verified to be 81.06%, which indicated that the model could fit the sorghum production in Tunliu District relatively accurately, and provided a method for precise prediction of sorghum production.

Key words: climate, production, exponential smoothing for three times, particle swarm optimization, absolute grey relational analysis, multiple linear regress
