Spatial Analysis of Maize Production in Maysan Governorate and its Relationship to Agricultural Tenure

Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the most important sector in the country, so taking care of this sector and promoting it for the better is a very important goal, and because the geographer studies spatial relations, this research dealt with the production of maize and the relationship with agricultural holdings.

The research problem came to him with the following question (Is there an effect of the characteristics of holding on the cultivation and production of the yellow corn crop in Maysan Governorate). Some techniques, where the first analysis was taken using visual congruence between the maps because the map is the language of the geographic, that is, the maps of holdings of various types and the map of yellow corn production. Almost perfect in some other categories, as for the second technique, the geographic information system was used by studying the measurement of scattering and dispersion, where it was found that there is a direct relationship in most cases and the relationship is always medium, or the third technique was used by some statistical means to measure the relationship between agricultural holdings and corn production It was found that there is a difference according to the type of factors, in the simple correlation technique, some of them are weak and others are strong, while in the multiple correlation the relationship was Strong, either the coefficient of determination has contributed to the interpretation of spatial discrepancies, while the size of the possession appeared as an influential factor greater than the other factors when using probability, to end the research with some results and recommendations.
