What you'll learn
Everything you need to plan, analyse and report a field experiment for publication.
Choosing the Right Design
Match your experiment to CRD, RBD, factorial or split plot layouts.
ANOVA & Mean Comparison
Interpreting ANOVA output and post-hoc tests - DMRT, Tukey's HSD, LSD.
Factorial Experiments
Two and three factor experiments, and reading interaction effects.
Split Plot Designs
Split, strip and split-split plots with the correct error terms.
ANCOVA & Repeated Measures
Adjusting for covariates and analysing observations over time.
Response Surface Methodology
Finding optimum treatment levels with response surfaces.
Pooled Analysis
Combining experiments over locations, seasons and years.
Breeding Trial Designs
Lattice and augmented designs for large numbers of entries.
Stability Analysis
Eberhart & Russell, AMMI and GGE biplots for multi-location trials.
RAISINS Platform
Full hands-on training with zero coding. Browser-based analysis.
Frequently asked questions
