32 Factorial RBD Experiment
Example: 32 factorial RBD Experiments: Following table gives the yield of potato (q/ha) in
response to three different plant spacing in three varieties. Analysis the data and draw your
conclusion with respect to (a) the best variety, (b) the best plant spacing and (c) interaction of
varieties and spacing to harvest best yield.

V3 135 1418 145 138 155 143 140 152 148
Total R1=1353 R2 = 1358 R3 = 1358
Solution:
r= no. of replication = 3
s = spacing = 3
v = variety = 3
n= Total no. of observation = r x s x v = 3 X 3 X 3 = 27
