Agricultural randomized block design
Description
Allard (1966) sought to quantify variation in the yield in wheat grasses. Five wheat crosses were selected from a breeding program and were grown at four randomly selected locations where the wheat would be grown commercially. At each location crosses (families) were randomly assigned to particular sections of fields, i.e. at each location a one way randomized block design was conducted.
Usage
data(wheat)Format
The dataframe has four columns:
- yield
Refers to wheat yield.
- loc
Refers to randomly selected locations where wheat were grown commercially. A factor with four levels:
1,2,3,4.- block
Refers to the replicate block within location. A factor with four levels:
1,2,3,4. Within each block five wheat crosses were randomly assigned and grown.- cross
