Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate an application of factor analysis. Sixteen variables were used in the study. Correlation coefficients were subjected to a principal-axes factor extraction and the results were rotated to orthogonal rotation (varimax method).

Six factors were found significant to cause most of the correlations observed in the study. The factors were identified as follows: Factor I, Physiology and Nutrition; Factor II, Morphology and Plant Type; Factor III, Plant Protection: Factor IV, Varietal; Factor V, Agronomy-Plant Protection; and Factor VI, Agronomy and Farm Practices. The measures of these factors were also discussed.
