  1. Layout of experiments &field trials Eduardo Notivol C.I.T.A. Aragon P27 (Spain) Unidad de Recursos Forestales enotivol@aragon.es Helmut Grotehusmann NW FORSTLICHE VERSUCHSANSTALT P7 (Germany) Abteilung Waldgenressourcen

  2. Outline: Design and analysis of experiments • Basic Principles • Review of TBDX situation (questionnaire) • Working on Standards (Check – list) • Objectives (and duration) • Optimal or minimum req • Problems and limiting factors

  3. Basic principles: Experimental design Tool for addressing analytical problems without fixed laws 1.Replications. (experimental error basis) Standard Error of Difference Agronomic trails SED<1/3 diff Material selection SED<1/6 diff Knowing s2 & d ==> n 2. Treatment (broad sense = G.U.) Randomization 3. Local control of existing variation (Blocking and/or spatial allocation and analysis) Stat. Analysis (Models, Anova ...)

  4. Experimental design Initial hypotheses or constraints: Aditive Model Normality Homocedasticity. Different treatment errors are independient & distributed N(0,σ2) Statistic tests: N: Shapiro-Wilks, graphs distrib, freq acum., res * pred H: Barlett, Levenne, ratios variances Transformations No parametric methods

  5. Elementary Designs R.D. Model: yij = μ+ ti + εij Data.........; Proc GLM; Class treat; Model y = treat; Run; SAS

  6. Elementary Designs R.C.B Model: yijk = μ + ti +bj + εijk Data.........; Proc GLM; Class treat blq; Model y = treat blq; Run; SAS

  7. F E.M.S. ¿Fixed o Random? • Critic decision • Not well documented on texts • Usually based on subjective statistic agreements Fixed: Levels of factor clearly targeted or selected Results & conclusions from anova are for these levels Main aim: Mean estimation of the variable for each level (BLUE) Random: Levels are a random sample from all posible. Results & conclusions from anova can be extrapolated + levels Main aim: Variability estimation of the variable or factor or perhaps prediction at a given level (BLUP)

  8. How to asses? A PRIORI ¿Fixed o Random? Scientific Criteria : 1) is it possible to repeat the factor levels in other site or year? 2) has it meaning this replication? Yes + Yes = Fixed Statistic Criteria : “Random” few levels (3-5) =>weak variance estimation, Better setting as fixed and use the results only at these levels “Fixed” with many levels (>10) without structure, better setting as random and estimating means by BLUPs E.M.S. Numeric difficulty SAS

  10. Incomplete Blocks Evaluation : high nº genotypes limited material ‘Many genotypes’ means huge blocks # no control I.B. Not all treat by block, so several blocks are needed for a complete replication Based on Aditivity: B-C= (B-C)3 = (B-A)1-(C-A)2 Experimental error independent of treatment

  11. Incomplete Blocks • Coexist direct & indirect comparisons • Lost of accuracy on indirect comparisons • but experimental error reduction Resolvable designs i.e.: g=k bi α-latice, latinized, row-columns,... Complex specific Software interblock info

  12. I.B. design Efficiency Objetive: To compare genotypes (at max. accuracy) E = (SEDRCB/ SEDIB)2 nº of extra replications in a RCB to get same accuracy level An IB with 4 reps y E=1.5 equals to a RCB with 4x1.5=6 CB “Efficiency” ~ costs

  15. Results from a Questionnaire • Kind of designs • Duration • Technical aspects • Some statistical issues (number of “r”) • In general only few parallel sites • •More replication/site than sites/series (i.e. parallel sites) • Demand for adjusting layout for joined breeding activities (Plant/plot, spacing, duration of testing) • •Different designs in the past, designs for the future?

  16. Design= f (objective) • Evaluation of variation (prov, prov-prog) • Approval of tested MFR (prog, so, cl) • Selection of parents for breeding (prog, cl)
