R Documentation

Uniformity trial of winter/spring wheat

Description

Uniformity trial of winter/spring wheat in Russia

Usage

data("tulaikow.wheat.uniformity")

Format

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

row: row ordinate
col: column ordinate
yield: yield in grams per plot
season: winter or summer

Details

Land was fallow in 1911, harvested in 1912 at the Bezenchuk Experimental Station in Russia. A winter wheat field of 240 square sazhen (24 x 10 sazhen) was divided into separate plots of 1 square sazhen, which were cut, threshed and weighed separately.

In the same way, a plot of Poltavka spring wheat was harvested and a plot of 240 square sazhen with dimensions of 15 by 16 sazhen was divided into plots of 1 square sazhen.

Winter wheat:

Field length: 10 rows * 1 sazhen.

Field width: 24 columns * 1 sazhen.

Summer wheat:

Field length: 16 rows * 1 sazhen.

Field width: 15 columns * 1 sazhen.

Note: The Russian word “саж” refers to a unit of measurement. Specifically, it represents the sazhen (саже́нь or са́жень), which was used in traditional Russian systems of measurement. The sazhen itself is approximately 3 meters (7 feet) long. Google Translate sometimes converts "sazhen" into "soot", "meter" or "fathom".

The data were typed by K.Wright from Roemer (1920), table 4, p. 63.
