Multi-environment trial of corn with nitrogen fertilizer

Description

Corn yield response to nitrogen

Format

A data frame with 54 observations on the following 4 variables.

nitro: nitrogen fertilizer, pound/acre
year: year
loc: location
yield: yield, bu/ac

Details

Experiments were conducted in eastern Oregon during the years 1950-1952.

Planting rates varied from 15,000 to 21,000 planter per acre.
