1. Statistical Procedure to Compare Farming Procedures with the Observation of Spatial Trends and Correlations in On-Farm Research

Modern management and machines have been introduced on a demonstration farm in Ganhe (China). This has led to new methods of cultivation with effects on yields, cost structure and thus also on the economic success of the farm. These effects should be tested with the help of an on-farm trial. The cultivation methods differed in the equipment used, plant protection and fertilisation strategies. In contrast to classical field trials, normal working practice farm machinery and fields are used in on-farm... P. Wagner, M. Langrock
