Lettuce Cultivar Performance in Aeroponic Systems with PCA Results

Five lettuce cultivars ('Summer Star', 'Grand Rapid', 'Tango', 'Bingo', and 'Black Rose') were evaluated in a controlled aeroponic environment. The dataset likely contains statistical analysis results, including ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and Principal Component Analysis, where the first two principal components explained 86.13% of total variance. The data was uploaded by Anand Sahil on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare cultivar performance based on growth parameters and yield components mentioned in the description
• Analyze correlations between plant traits like height, leaf area index, and chlorophyll content
• Apply PCA results to identify key factors driving variation in aeroponic growth
• Assess genetic variability using GCV and PCV metrics referenced in the study

Strengths

• Analysis includes results from multiple statistical methods (ANOVA, Pearson correlation, PCA)
• PCA identified two principal components explaining 86.13% of total variance
• Data covers five distinct lettuce cultivars for comparative analysis

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope
