Description for Practical Statistics and Experimental Design for Plant and Crop Science
Paperback. The only way to recommend new crop varieties, agrochemicals and husbandry systems is after they have been thoroughly tested in a series of replicated field trials. The trials, which are used to test these products or systems, need to be designed in such a way that the results obtained are reasonable and representative. Num Pages: 346 pages, bibliography.
