Practical Statistics and Experimental Design for Plant and Crop Science

Practical Statistics and Experimental Design for Plant and Crop Science provides an introduction to the principles of plant and crop experimentation. Avoiding mathematical jargon, this text explains how to plan and design an experiment, analyse results, interpret computer output and present findings. Using specific crop and plant case studies this user-friendly guide presents: The reasoning behind each statistical mathod before giving practical examples Step-by-step calculations with examples linked to three computer packages (MINITAB, GENSTAT and SAS) Exercises at the end of many chapters Advice on presenting results and report writing Written by experienced lecturers, this text will be invaluable to undergradaute and postgraduate students studying plant sciences, including plant and crop physiology, biotechnology, plant pathology and agronomy, plus ecology and environmental science students and those wanting a refresher or reference book in statistics.Clewer, Alan G. is the author of 'Practical Statistics and Experimental Design for Plant and Crop Science', published 2001 under ISBN 9780471899099 and ISBN 0471899097.
