  1. Relationship between mean yield, coefficient of variation, mean square error and plot size in wheat field experiments • Coefficient of variation: • Relative measure of variation • = (standard deviation/mean)*100 = (s/x)*100 • = (square root of the variance/mean)*100 = s2/x • MSE = s2 • Index of the reliability of the experiment (Gomez & Gomez) • Used to describe the amount of variation in a population (Cochran) • Used to evaluate results from different experiments involving the same units of measure (Steel et al)

  8. CV useful for comparing the experimental variation of trials containing variables with common units • Smaller plot sizes employed in plant breeding trials (average of 3.59m2) compared to fertilizer/weed/tillage trials (average of 37.2m2) reduced the variability encountered in the estimation of the mean. • Smaller plot size employed in the variety trials is considered to be advantageous in field plot work since it is consistent with the resolution where detectable differences in soil test parameters exist and that should be treated independently • Replication • Randomization
