hanks.sprinkler: Wheat yields in a line-source sprinkler experiment

In agridat: Agricultural Datasets

Wheat yields in a line-source sprinkler experiment

Description

Three wheat varieties planted in 3 blocks, with a line sprinkler crossing all whole plots.

Format

A data frame with 108 observations on the following 7 variables.

block

block

row

row

subplot

column

gen

genotype, 3 levels

yield

yield (tons/ha)

irr

irrigation level, 1..6

dir

direction from sprinkler, N/S

Details

A line-source sprinkler is placed through the middle of the experiment (between subplots 6 and 7). Subplots closest to the sprinkler receive the most irrigation. Subplots far from the sprinkler (near the edges) have the lowest yields.

One data value was modified from the original (following the example of other authors).
