RCB experiment of brussels sprouts, 9 fertilizer treatments

Format

A data frame with 48 observations on the following 5 variables.

row: row
col: column
yield: yield of saleable sprouts, pounds
trt: treatment, 9 levels
block: block, 4 levels

Details

The block numbers are arbitrary, and may not match the orignal source.

Plots were 10 yards x 14 yards. Plot orientation is not clear.
