Method for Calculating Corn Yield (Mg/ha) from Experimental Field Data at Plot Level
There is a corn experimental field as shown below. While regular corn farmers typically sow the entire field at once without dividing it into plots, researchers divide the field into plots and differentiate treatments to derive experimental results. The yield data obtained from field experiments should be in the common unit used by farmers, which is Mg/ha or bu/acre. However, our experimental field is not as large as a hectare (ha). Even if a certain experimental field is as large…
