Crop Production and Management

Weedicides are chemicals that are sprayed on crop ields to remove weeds.
A farmer wanted to test the effect of two different weedicides on wheat production.
He sprayed each weedicide on two different ields. No weedicide was sprayed on ield 3.

Field 1 - sprayed Field 2 - sprayed Field 3 - sprayed

with weedicide 1 with weedicide 2 with weedicide 3

The graph shows the production of wheat crop from each ield over two years.
