Description

Incomplete-block experiment of maize in Ethiopia.

Usage

data("damesa.maize")

Format

A data frame with 264 observations on the following 8 variables.

site, 4 levels

rep

replicate, 3 levels

block

incomplete block

plot

plot number

gen

genotype, 22 levels

row

row ordinate

col

yield

yield, t/ha

Details

An experiment harvested in 2012, evaluating drought-tolerant maize hybrids at 4 sites in Ethiopia. At each site, an incomplete-block design was used.

Damesa et al use this data to compare single-stage and two-stage analyses.
