Sugar beets data

Description

Yield and sugar percentage in sugar beets from a split plot experiment. The experimental layout was as follows: There were three blocks. In each block, the harvest time defines the "whole plot" and the sowing time defines the "split plot". Each plot was 25 m^2 and the yield is recorded in kg. See 'details' for the experimental layout. The data originates from a study carried out at The Danish Institute for Agricultural Sciences (the institute does not exist any longer; it became integrated in a Danish university).

Usage

beets

Format

A dataframe with 5 columns and 30 rows.
