In kwstat/agridat: Agricultural Datasets

Long term rotation experiment at Rothamsted

Description

Long term rotation experiment at Rothamsted

Usage

data("payne.wheat")

Format

A data frame with 480 observations on the following 4 variables.

rotation

rotation treatment

nitro

nitrogen rate kg/ha

year

year

yield

metric tons per hectare

Details

The rotation treatments are:

AB = arable rotation with spring barley. AF = arable rotation with bare fallow. Ln3 = 3-year grass lay between crops. Ln8 = 8-year grass lay between crops. Lc3 = 3-year grass-clover lay between crops. Lc8 = 8-year grass-clover lay between crops.

The data used here are a subset as appearing in the paper by Payne.
