Abstract
In this paper, the development level of field crop production in
municipalities of AP Vojvodina was observed, in the period from 1989 to 2008,
through indicators of presence of harvested areas, total production and production
per ha of main field crop cultures: wheat, corn, sugar beat, sun flower, clover and
alfalfa. The tendency of change of observed traits of main field crop cultures was
monitored.
Ranking of the municipalities of AP Vojvodina is not uniform based on
presence of observed field crop cultures. Therefore, Spearman correlation
coefficient indicates medium, but statistically very significant level of compliance
of formed rankings based on individual field crop cultures. Statistical significance
was not demonstrated only in the case of presence of surfaces under sugar beat,
clover and alfalfa, as well as sunflower and clover. Based on the test of the
independence of the rankings, on the territory of the municipalities of AP
Vojvodina, it was recorded that investigated field crop productions were mutually
independent.
Considering that the level of development of the municipalities of AP
Vojvodina was analyzed through several indicators of field crop production for
determination of the synthetic ranking which would show which of the
municipalities is most developed in regard to observed field crop productions, Idistance
was used in the paper.
