Description
Experimental Research Design and Analysis offers a rational approach to the quantitative methods of agricultural experiments. In its innovative presentation of the most commonly used experimental designs, this advanced text/reference discusses the logical reasons for selecting a particular design and shows how experimental results can be analyzed and interpreted. Real-world examples from different areas of agriculture are featured throughout the book to illustrate how practical issues of design and analysis are handled.
To facilitate an understanding of concepts presented in the text, a step-by-step process that reinforces key ideas is used to explain design and analysis. In addition, equations are consecutively numbered in each chapter as they are introduced; thus, each chapter can be studied independently without a loss of continuity or information.
In a pedagogically useful way, chapters are organized into various subsections, each representing a unit of mastery based on incremental learning. Additionally, each chapter includes practical exercises and review questions. A solutions manual featuring answers to all review questions is provided. This book is an excellent classroom text or self-study guide intended for students and practitioners in agronomy, horticulture, agricultural economics, biometrics, soil science, and animal science.
