Multi-environment trial of barley in Alberta, 6 varieties at 18 locations in Alberta.

Yield of 6 barley varieties at 18 locations in Alberta.

data("yang.barley")

Format

A data frame with 108 observations on the following 3 variables.

site

site factor, 18 levels

gen

genotype factor, 6 levels

yield

yield, Mg/ha

Details

From an experiment in 2003. Yang (2013) uses this data to illustrate a procedure for bootstrapping biplots.
