To test the effectiveness of three fertilizers (A, B, and C) on crop yield in a specific
region, a completely randomized design experiment is proposed. Here's a summary of
the plan:
● Plot Selection: Divide the region into equal plots and randomly assign each plot to one of
the three fertilizer treatments.
● Fertilizer Application: Apply the designated fertilizer treatment to each plot according to
the random assignment, ensuring consistent application rates.
● Crop Yield Measurement: Monitor crop growth, health, and yield throughout the growth
cycle, then measure yield at harvest time.
● Data Analysis: Analyze yield data using statistical methods appropriate for a completely
randomized design, such as ANOVA.
● Replication and Randomization: Replicate the experiment across multiple sets of plots
and randomize fertilizer treatments within each replication to increase reliability and
account for variability.
This approach ensures rigorous evaluation of fertilizer effectiveness while minimizing bias and
confounding variables.
By following these steps, you can design a randomized complete block experiment to assess
the effects of soil type and fertilizer type on crop growth. This design allows for rigorous
evaluation of the main effects of soil and fertilizer, as well as their interaction, while minimizing
