In agridat: Agricultural Datasets

Herbicide control of larkspur

Description

Herbicide control of larkspur

Usage

data("turner.herbicide")

Format

A data frame with 12 observations on the following 4 variables.

rep

rep factor

rate

rate of herbicide

live

number of live plants before application

dead

number of plants killed by herbicide

Details

Effectiveness of the herbicide Picloram on larkspur plants at 4 doses (0, 1.1, 2.2, 4.5) in 3 reps. Experiment was done in 1986 at Manti, Utah.
