The data refer to study of mildew control sponsored by Bainbridge, Jenkyn and Dyke at Rothamsted Experimental Station. There were four treatments, one of which was a control. There were 36 adjacent plots, with an extra plot at each end. Nine blocks were created by grouping the plots in fours.
The variables are:
t1, t2, t3 | indicators of the four treatment groups |
p1, ..., p8 | indicators of the nine blocks |
Yield | tons of grain per hectare |
