Uniformity trial of sorghum

Description

Uniformity trial of sorghum in at Manhattan, Kansas, 1958-1959.

Usage

data("stickler.sorghum.uniformity")

Format

A data frame with 1600 observations on the following 4 variables.

expt

experiment

row

row

col

col

yield

yield, pounds

Details

Four sorghum experiments at the Agronomy Farm at Manhattan, Kansas. Experiments E1,E2 grown in 1958. Expts E3,E5 grown in 1959.

Experiment E1.

Field width = 20 units * 14 inches = 23.3 ft.

Field length = 20 units * 10 feet = 200 feet.

Experiment E2-E3.

Field width = 20 units * 40 inches = 73 feet

Field length = 20 units * 5 ft = 100 feet.
