A painter was interested in the making of organic red dye derived from a Gumamela (Hibiscus)

found in their local town. After hours of gathering, they got a total of 32 flowers. Every 8
flowers were freshly picked from different parts: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western parts.
They were delighted and excited to start their little experiment so they prepared four treatments:
Treatment A (20% Gumamela + 80% Distilled Water), Treatment B (40% Gumamela + 60%
Distilled Water), Treatment C (60% Gumamela + 40% Distilled Water and Treatment D (80%
Gumamela + 20% Distilled Water). However, they came across a hurdle, and realized that not all
of the flowers were the same shade of red. The painter believed that it was due to the flower’s
location that caused this problem. Label and then block your experimental units and place them
in their respective columns down below:

I II III IV

After categorizing the experimental units, the painter then proceeded to randomize the
experimental units within each block. For block I, they made 8 pieces of uniformly-sized paper,
rolled each and then placed into a container then proceeded to shake it. They continued this
process until there were enough for four blocks. After drawing lots for each block, they finally
finished plotting their hypothetical layouts:
1A 2C 3B 4B 5D 6A 7D 8C 1C 2D 3A 4A 5D 6B 7C 8B
Hypothetical Layout for Block I (Northern Side) Hypothetical Layout for Block II (Southern Side)

1B 2D 3C 4C 5A 6A 7B 8D 1C 2B 3D 4A 5A 6B 7C 8D
Hypothetical Layout for Block I (Western Side) Hypothetical Layout for Block I (Eastern Side)

Basing off the given hypothetical layout for each blocks above, assign the treatments or make
your field lay-out for this experiment.
