Automating Uniformity Trials to Optimize Precision of Agronomic Field Trials [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 Plot size has an important impact on variation among plots in agronomic field trials, but is rarely considered during the design process. Uniformity trials can inform a researcher about underlying variance, but are seldom used due to their laborious ...
