Statistical Design and Analysis for Intercropping Experiments

Abstract

February 1991Treatment design and plot technique for intercropping experiments are different than for sole cropping experiments. The experiment design does not depend upon the nature of the treatments. The statistical analysis depends heavily upon the nature, type, and make-up of the treatment design. As a result, quite different statistical analyses are used for intercropping as co~pared to sole cropping experiments. There are many more aspects for intercropping experiments. Some of these are land use, economic, nutritional, multivariate, soil erosion and structure, pests, and biological. Each of these aspects is briefly discussed.
