mead.turnip: Density/spacing experiment for turnips in 3 blocks.

Description

Density/spacing experiment for turnips in 3 blocks.

Usage

data("mead.turnip")

Format

A data frame with 60 observations on the following 4 variables.

yield

log yield (pounds/plot)

block

block

spacing

row spacing, inches

density

density of seeds, pounds/acre

Details

An experiment with turnips, 3 blocks, 20 treatments in a factorial arrangement of 5 seeding rates (density) and 4 widths (spacing).
