Eficiencia relativa del diseno en latices con respecto al diseno en bloques completos al azar en ensayos de rendimiento en frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

In choosing an experimental design, emphasis should be placed on selecting one that minimizes experimental error variance. A comparison is made of the randomized complete block and lattice designs, giving the advantages and disadvantages of each. It was found that the lattice design was much better for a large no. of treatments, especially when there is a high index of soil heterogeneity. In the 6 experiments taken as the basis for this study, the relative efficiency of lattice designs as compared to randomized blocks was more than 105 percent. (CIAT)
