Statistical Design and Analysis for Intercropping by Walter T. Federer

By Walter T. Federer

Intercropping is a space of study for which there's a determined want, either in constructing international locations the place everyone is quickly depleting scarce assets and nonetheless ravenous, and in constructed nations, the place extra ecologically and economically sound methods of feeding ourselves has to be built. the one released directions for carrying out such study and examining the information were scattered approximately in a variety of magazine articles, lots of that are difficult to discover. This booklet condenses those tools and may be immensely helpful to agricultural researchers and to the statisticians who aid them layout their experiments and interpret their effects.

Sample text

Further, suppose that the paddies are in a rectangular arrangement. 1. In this figure, m maize alone, b beans alone, and mb maize and beans intercropped. What is the best way to fill in the unmarked edges to consider such treatments as 3b : m, 2b : 2m, b : 3m, 3b : mb, 2b : 2mb, b : 3mb? , not mb) from the paddy edges, use may be made of the Veevers and Zaraf (1982) approach or of other approaches described in Chapter 8 of Volume I. A balanced arrangement of m and b would be used such that the rice paddy had m on 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 edges of the paddy and b on the remaining edges.
