yield

yield per plot, kg

Details

A uniformity trial of sugarcane conducted at a commercial sugarcane plantation located at Finca Bulbuxya, Jurisdiction of the Municipality of San Miguel Panam, Department of Suchitepéquez, Bulbuxyá, Guatemala. Harvested 1981. Latitude 14 deg 39 min 39 sec, Longitude 91 deg 22 min.

Field width: 15 columns x 1.6 m = 24 m

Field length: 40 rows x 2 m = 80 m

The mean and standard deviation calculated from this data is slightly different from the source. The table of basic unit yield values in the source document contains some values that are very similar, for example 33.1122, 33.1126, 33.1132. It seems likely that these values must have been identical when the data were collected, but perhaps typed incorrectly in the source document or similar error at some point.
