Optimum plot shape and size of plot has been worked out from uniformity trial on S-II variety of tomato. Maximum curvature method, Fair-field Smith’s variance law was used for the purpose. A plot of 8 m2 (4m x 2 m) was found to be optimum for S-II variety of tomato grown at RRS and FOA Wadura Campus, SKUAST-K. The trial indicated that coefficient of variation decreased with increase in plot size in either direction, but decrease was more in north-south direction than east-west direction. The shape of plot has been found to have very little influence on variability within the range of plot size considered.

Abstract


Optimum plot shape and size of plot has been worked out from uniformity trial on S-II variety of tomato. Maximum curvature method, Fair-field Smith’s variance law was used for the purpose. A plot of 8 m2 (4m x 2 m) was found to be optimum for S-II variety of tomato grown at RRS and FOA Wadura Campus, SKUAST-K. The trial indicated that coefficient of variation decreased with increase in plot size in either direction, but decrease was more in north-south direction than east-west direction. The shape of plot has been found to have very little influence on variability within the range of plot size considered.
