Plot technique studies on sweetpotato yield trials
1992
Vallejo, R.L. | Mendoza, H.A.
The objective of this research was to determine optimum plot size and number of replications to evaluate yield of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) clones. The optimum plot size was estimated using the methods of maximum curvature and comparison of variances. The adequate number of replications was determined using the Hatheway method. Using the maximum curvature method, the estimated optimum plot size was 10 basic units (b.u. = six plants or 1.2 m2) for La Molina and San Ramon, and 5 b.u. for Tacna, Peru. Using the comparison of variances method, the optimum plot size was 15 b.u. for all locations tested. The adequate number of replications with a plot size of 15 b.u. was four.
