This paper is to estimate the optimum plot size with the shape for field research experiments on paddy yield trial considering the effect of plot size on variability in yield of crop as well as studying the coefficients of variation of different plot sizes and shapes of plots. The maximum curvature technique and comparable variance methods were exercised to estimate optimum plot size and shape ...

Monitoring smallholder agricultural productivity growth, one of the targets Sustainable Development Goals, rests on accurate measures crop production and land area. Existing methods protocols for measuring plot size are prone to various sources forms mismeasurement. Inaccuracies in area measurement likely distort descriptive predictive inferences. We examine sensitivity empirical assessments re...
