aphids: Aphids data set

Description Value

Description

The is data described in Matis et al, 2008. The data set consists of five observations on cotton aphid counts on twenty randomly chosen leaves in each plot, for twenty-seven treatment-block combinations. The data were recorded in July 2004 in Lamesa, Texas. The treatments consisted of three nitrogen levels (blanket, variable and zero), three irrigation levels (low, medium and high) and three blocks, each being a distinct area. Irrigation treatments were randomly assigned within each block as whole plots. Nitrogen treatments were randomly assigned within each whole block as split plots. . Note that the sampling times are $t$=0, 1.14, 2.29, 3.57 and 4.57 weeks (i.e. every 7 to 8 days).
