oats: Data from an Oats Field Trial

Description

The yield of oats from a split-plot field trial using three varieties and four levels of manurial treatment. The experiment was laid out in 6 blocks of 3 main plots, each split into 4 sub-plots. The varieties were applied to the main plots and the manurial treatments to the sub-plots.

Usage

oats

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

B

Blocks, levels I, II, III, IV, V and VI.

V

Varieties, 3 levels.

N

Nitrogen (manurial) treatment, levels 0.0cwt, 0.2cwt, 0.4cwt and 0.6cwt, showing the application in cwt/acre.

Y

Yields in 1/4lbs per sub-plot, each of area 1/80 acre.
