Examples:
• Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
• Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)
• Latin Square Design (LSD)
c. Areas used for experiments in previous croppings
✓ Study the nature of the previous study to determine if it
will have any direct or serious effect on the outcome of
the new experiment
d. Graded areas
✓ The topsoil from an elevated area is removed by grading
to minimize the slope, thus exposing infertile subsoils
I guess 10
or 11???
h. Estimation of data if they
were not properly entered
(or were not entered at all)
5. Sources of variation in a field experiment
a. Variability in biological material
d. Uncontrollable factors
B. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS
• The assignment of treatments to different plots in the trial
area depends on the experimental design.
- follow the principles of the experimental design because
it will facilitate the correct assessment of the trial.
Steps:
a. Determine the total number of experimental units, e.g.,
pots (n).
n =rxt
= 3 x 4 = 12
b. Assign a pot number to each experimental unit or pot in
any convenient manner: from 1 to n
