Data that will be collected from the experimental plots will be
subjected to statistical analysis of
variance for randomized complete
Block Design (RCBD) and the separation
of treatment means for significant effect will be done by the use of
fishers least significant difference (F-LSD) as
described by Obi (1980).
Format of Analysis of Variance
Showing General and Specific Degrees
of Freedom for a split-split plot
Design Experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)
of four Blocks.
N0 of Blocks = 4
Factor A = Mulching
vs non mulching
Factor B = Varieties = 2
Factor C = Organic
fertilizer = 3
V1 and V2 = 2
varieties of cucumber (V1 =
Asley, V2=
Marketer)
PO, P5, P10 = 3
rates of poultry manure
Blocks = 4 blocks (I, II, III, IV)
Total number of
plots =
2 x 2 x 3 x 4
= 4 x 12
= 48 plots
No seeds to be
planted = 16 seeds/ plots
Total number of seeds to be planted =
16 x 48 = 768 seeds
