Extract

The response of three spring cultivars of oilseed rape to five levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0 to 200 kg/ha) was studied during 1978–9 (Scarisbrick, Daniels & Alcock, 1981). Sampling problems, practical difficulties of measuring yield components, and the high co-efficients of variation for these data were discussed. During the course of further investigations on the winter cultivar Jet Neuf (established on approximately 75000 ha in the U. K. during 1980–1) within-plot variability for plant weight was assessed in order to indicate the size of sample necessary to compare treatment means.
