Your data are publishable. Refusal by one Journal is not a reason for non acceptance of the same in some other journals. Publish your paper in a local journal or journals devoted to on-farm research data. Statistics are not so important in such studies because of high variability of the data although the information may be technically correct. Try more than two or more journals before you despair or give up.

I am suggesting to select as many plants as possible and conduct an experiment where you plant that during the time in the year that is hottest in your area. If you want to determine vegetables crop species it must be vegetable species that are used in the experiment and if your interests is on fruit trees the plants to be used must be fruit trees. Do recording on the plant performance such as growth, time taken to start with flowering stage, the avarega number of flowers that would be produced per branch, the number of flowers that would fall down on hot days, fruit setting and growth of fruitles up until they get ripe. The one that has more, quality and the size of the adible part in case of fruit or vegetable is the one that best suit in your hot environment.
