Seventy-two field trials were conducted by applying four
defoliation treatments (non defoliated control, 33%, 66%, and
100%) at different growth stages (stage
) ranging from
pre-flowering (1) to physiological maturity (5) in four different
locations of Navarra, Spain: Carcastillo (1), Melida (2),
Murillo (3), and Unciti (4). There are two response variables:
yield
in kg/ha of the sunflower and numseed
,
the number of seeds per sunflower head. Data are stored in the
data frame sunflower
. Data used in Case Study: Sunflower
defoliation from Chapter 11.
