Efficiency of experimental designs for some quantitative traits in maize

The objective of the investigation was estimation and comparison of relative efficiency of the simple lattice experimental design vs. the randomized complete block design for grain yield, grain Moisture content and starch content in dry matter of grain in maize. The trials were set up in Osijek and Karanac during two growing seasons. An appropriate plant-soil interrelation revealed gain in experimental precision of the simple lattice design for all investigated traits at both locations and growing seasons, especially for grain yield and Osijek location. The estimated results approve the efforts of researchers to involve, adjust and explore such quantitative traits into the simple lattice design more frequently instead of the randomized complete block design. This is all in purpose to achieve the highest possible estimation accuracy for targeted traits.
