Using the above quantities, that is, average,
median, standard deviation, maximum, and
regression coefficients, sustainability indices for
different treatments as per the formula discussed
above are worked out and presented in the fol-
lowing table:
From the above table, it is found that except for
SI 7, treatment five is by far the most sustainable
treatment. On examination, it is also revealed that
treatment five has produced the highest average
yield (85.45 q/ha) over the period of experimenta-
tion. Hence, treatment five is not only the most
sustainable treatment but also the best treatment.
