Summary

Suggested rules are given for the presentation of numerical data in a scientific agricultural journal. These are that all tables of numerical results should be sufficiently clear to render unnecessary any reference to the accompanying text; and that treatment means (and other statistics) should always be accompanied by their standard errors, rather than by least significant differences or by asterisks showing the results of significance texts. Examples are given of correct and incorrect presentation of results, and the graphical presentation of results is also discussed.
