Yield of oats in a split-block experiment

Description

The yield of oats from a split-plot field trial using three varieties and four levels of manurial treatment. The experiment was laid out in 6 blocks of 3 main plots, each split into 4 sub-plots. The varieties were applied to the main plots and the manurial (nitrogen) treatments to the sub-plots.

Format

block: block factor with 6 levels
nitro: nitrogen treatment in hundredweight per acre
Variety: genotype factor, 3 levels
yield: yield in 1/4 lbs per sub-plot, each 1/80 acre.
row: row location
column: column location
