Features:
- Official Release – Prefaced by the Minister of Agriculture, edited by the Deputy Minister, with a editorial board composed of leaders from agricultural administration and extension departments, and scholars, and written by nearly 100 senior experts.
- Comprehensive Coverage – Includes crops, fruit and vegetable, flowers, edible fungi, plant protection, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, animal husbandry, feed, etc., totaling 69 books.
- Accurate Targeting – Serves 1.2 million agricultural technicians and tens of millions of science demonstration and professional households, addressing what technicians want to know and writing in a way that professional households can understand.
This book briefly introduces the basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis before focusing on commonly used experimental designs and statistical analysis methods in agricultural experiments. The content includes:
- Significance tests (t-tests) for comparative experiments using grouped and paired designs.
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparisons for single-factor experiments using completely randomized designs, randomized complete block designs, and Latin square designs.
- ANOVA and multiple comparisons for multi-factor experiments using completely randomized designs, randomized complete block designs, split-plot designs, split-split-plot designs, and split-plot designs with pseudo-treatments.
- Statistical analysis of orthogonal design and its experimental results.
- Univariate and multivariate regression and correlation, as well as curve regression analysis.
This book is suitable for agricultural technicians, and can also be referenced by university students, postgraduate students, and researchers and educators in agricultural science and teaching.
