STATISTICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIMATE FACTORS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN UZBEKISTAN
Keywords:
climate change, agricultural productivity, temperature, precipitation, correlation, regression analysis, UzbekistanAbstract
This study statistically examines the relationship between climate factors and agricultural productivity in Uzbekistan during 2020–2024. Average air temperature and annual precipitation were used as key climate indicators, while wheat and cotton yields represented agricultural performance. The results show that temperature has a stronger association with crop yields, particularly cotton, whereas the effect of precipitation is limited under irrigated farming conditions. The findings highlight the importance of climate adaptation, efficient water use, and the advancement of agrotechnological practices.
