gomez.rice.uniformity {agridat}

Uniformity trial of rice

Description

Uniformity trial of rice in Philippines.

Format

A data frame with 648 observations on the following 3 variables.

row

row

col

column

yield

grain yield, grams/m^2

Details

An area 20 meters by 38 meters was planted to rice variety IR8. At harvest, a 1-meter border was removed around the field and discarded. Each square meter (1 meter by 1 meter) was harvested and weighed.

Field width: 18 plots x 1 m = 18 m

Field length: 38 plots x 1 m = 38 m

Note that Gomez published a paper in 1969 on rice uniformity data. Quite likely this is the same data. Estimated harvest year is 1968.
