In agridat: Agricultural Datasets

RCB experiment of wheat, 50 varieties in 3 blocks with strong spatial trend.

Description

RCB experiment of wheat, 50 varieties in 3 blocks with strong spatial trend.

Format

A data frame with 150 observations on the following 4 variables.

yield

yield of wheat

gen

genotype, factor with 50 levels

col

column/block

row

row

Details

RCB experiment on wheat at El Batan, Mexico. There are three single-column replicates with 50 varieties in each replicate.

Plot dimensions are not given by Besag.
