Extract

The testing of a large number of varieties or treatments can generally be most conveniently made by the use of the quasi-factorial designs devised by Yates. The value of such designs is enhanced by the possibility of introducing further treatments on parts of the plots. The present paper describes a lattice square trial testing 25 organic treatments (actually 22 different treatments with a control represented three times) in which all combinations of nitrogen, phosphate and potash were also tested by splitting the plots and confounding the three-factor interaction with whole plots, the total number of split-plots being 300. Both the design and analysis are comparatively simple and straight-forward, and will serve as an example of the use of split-plot confounding in most types of quasi-factorial designs.
