Multi-environment trial of corn, balanced incomplete block design

Description

Balanced incomplete block design in corn

Format

A data frame with 52 observations on the following 3 variables.

loc

location/block, 13 levels

gen

genotype/line, 13 levels

yield

yield, pounds/plot

Details

Incomplete block design. Each loc/block has 4 genotypes/lines. The blocks are planted at different locations.

Conducted in 1943 in North Carolina.

dat <- cochran.bib

# Show the incomplete-block structure

          col.regions=redblue,
          xlab="loc (block)", main="cochran.bib - incomplete blocks")

with(dat, table(gen,loc))
