Applications: Example of Block Designs for Plant and Tree Breeding Trials

Abstract

Experimental designs which use extensive blocking and which are particularly useful in plant and tree breeding trials are discussed. They can be constructed either to accommodate field restrictions or take advantage of favourable plot layouts. Computer software is available to generate these design types for use in practice. Examples cover latinized row‐column designs, t ‐latinized and partially‐latinized designs and designs with unequal block sizes.
