Evaluation of the planting performance for planting substrate using the SQI-CRITIC combination model based on the least squares method by Ning Wang, Dong Xia, Dong Xia, Dong Xia, Xiaoming Duan, Bingqin Zhao, Bingqin Zhao, Wennian Xu, Wennian Xu

“…BackgroundTo improve the scientificity of the evaluation results of the planting performance of the Yellow River sediment based on planting substrate.MethodsThis study replaced the natural soil with Yellow River sediment, used cement as the cementing material, added different proportions of organic matter and amendment of habitat material to prepare planting substrate based on the Yellow River sediment, and carried out experiments by using oats and proposed a combined SQI-CRITIC combined weighting calculation method based on the least square method for its evaluation.ResultsThe results showed that (1) different proportions of cement and amendment of habitat material led to significant variations in the planting performance of the planting substrate based on Yellow River sediment: among the 5# mix ratio, the plant height (12.5 cm) and biomass (3.06 g) of oats reached extreme values. …”
