Extract

The method suggested by Papadakis of using covariance with the yields of neighbouring plots to reduce the error of replicated field experiments is illustrated on two large-scale cotton experiments. In a discussion on the validity and value of the method, it is concluded that for such experiments, where the number of plots per block is large, the method should be approximately valid and sometimes useful.
