A manurial trial with six levels of Farmyard Manure (FYM) was carried out in a randomised block design with 4 replications at the experimental station Junagarh with a new study the rate of decomposition of organic matters in soil and its synthetic capacity in soil on cotton crop. The yield per plot in kg for different levels of FYM and replications is given below:
Cotton Yield Per Plot (in Kg)
| Levels of FYM | Replications |
| I II III IV | |
| 1 | 6.90 4.60 4.40 4.81 6.48 5.57 4.28 4.45 6.52 7.60 5.30 5.30 6.90 6.65 6.75 7.75 6.00 6.18 6.50 5.50 7.90 7.57 6.80 6.62 |
Carry out the Analysis of Variance test and draw the conclusions.
To analyze the data from the manurial trial and draw conclusions, we will perform an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test. This test will help us determine whether there are significant differences among the six levels of Farmyard Manure (FYM) and whether the variations in cotton yield per plot can be attributed to these different levels.
First, let's organize the data in a table:
| Levels of FYM | Replications | Cotton Yield (Kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I | 6.90 |
| 1 | II | 6.48 |
| 1 | III | 6.52 |
| 1 | IV | 6.90 |
| 2 | I | 4.60 |
| 2 | II | 5.57 |
| 2 | III | 7.60 |
| 2 | IV | 6.65 |
| 3 | I | 4.40 |
| 3 | II | 4.28 |
| 3 | III | 5.30 | ________ ___ _____ ________ _____ _________ __________ ___.
