Popis: The estimation of the probable errors of a large number of small duplicate plats well distributed in the area devoted to a field experiment indicates that the precision of agricultural experiments can be increased by replicating the experiments on small plats. Replication is urged not only for giving greater precision in experiments in which the results justify the increased labor, but also for furnishing a means whereby the experimenter and his reading public may determine what reliance can be placed upon the data and conclusions of the experiment. Replication also lessens the uncertainties involved in the use of check plats, and may decrease the total area required for the conduct of field experiments.
