An experiment conducted in a randomized block design in a split
plot scheme was developed in order to evaluate the efficiency of
bacterial isolates in the development of tomato cultivars. The
experiment counted a total of 24 trays; each block (in a total
of four blocks), composed of 6 trays, in which each tray contained
a treatment (6 isolates). Each tray was seeded with 4 different
genotypes, each genotype occupying 28 cells per tray. The trays
were randomized inside each block and the genotypes were randomized
inside each tray.
