RioChillon: Data and analysis Mother and baby trials

Description

Mother/Baby Trials allow farmers and researchers to test best-bet technologies or new cultivars. Evaluation of advanced Clones of potato in the Valley of Rio Chillon - PERU (2004)

Usage

data(RioChillon)

Format

The format is list of 2: 1. mother: data.frame: 30 obs. of 3 variables: - block (3 levels) - clon (10 levels) - yield (kg.) 2. babies: data.frame: 90 obs. of 3 variables: - farmer (9 levels) - clon (10 levels) - yield (kg.)

Details

1. Replicated researcher-managed "mother trials" with typically 10 treatments evaluated in small plots. 2. Unreplicated "baby trials" with 10 treatments evaluated in large plots. 3. The "baby trials" with a subset of the treatments in the mother trial.

# Third
# The researcher makes use of data from both mother and baby trials and thereby obtains
