In kwstat/agridat: Agricultural Datasets

Slate Hall Farm 1976 spring wheat

Description

Yields for a Slate Hall Farm 1976 spring wheat trial.

Format

A data frame with 150 observations on the following 5 variables.

rep

rep, 6 levels

row

row

col

column

gen

genotype, 25 levels

yield

yield (grams/plot)

Details

The trial was a balanced lattice with 25 varieties in 6 replicates, 10 ranges of 15 columns. The plot size was 1.5 meters by 4 meters. Each row within a rep is an (incomplete) block.

Field width: 15 columns * 1.5m = 22.5m

Field length: 10 ranges * 4m = 40m
