Biomass of 3 crops in Greece

Usage

data("miguez.biomass")

Format

A data frame with 212 observations on the following 5 variables.

doy: day of year
block: block, 1-4
input: management input, Lo/Hi
crop: crop type
yield: yield tons/ha

Details

Experiment was conducted in Greece in 2009. Yield values are destructive Measurements of above-ground biomass for fiber sorghum, maize, sweet sorghum.

Hi management refers to weekly irrigation and high nitrogen applications. Lo management refers to bi-weekly irrigation and low nitrogen.

The experiment had 4 blocks.

Crops were planted on DOY 141 with 0 yield.
