An experiment was planned to study the effect of Sulphate, Potash and Super Phosphate on the yield of potatoes. All the combinations of 2 levels of Super Phosphate [0 cent (p0) and 5 cent (p1)/ acre] and two levels of Sulphate and Potash [0 cent (k0) and 5 cent (k1)/acre] were studied in a randomised block design with 4 replications each. The (1/70) yields [lb per plot = (1/70) acre] obtained are given in table below:
| Blocks | Yields (lbs per plot) | |||
| I | (1) 23 | k 25 | p 22 | kp 38 |
| II | p 40 | (1) 26 | k 36 | kp 38 |
| III | (1) 29 | k 20 | pk 30 | p 20 |
| IV | kp 34 | k 31 | p 24 | (1) 28 |
Analyse the data and give your conclusions.
