The data have been kindly provided by Dr. MarkStevens, Yanco Agricultural Institute. A full description of the experiment is given byStevens et al. [1999]. Bloodworms are a significant pest of rice in the Murray and Murrumbidgeeirrigation areas and damage can result in poor establishment and substantialyield loss.The experiment commenced with the transplanting of rice seedlings into trays. Each traycontained a total of 32 seedlings and the trays were paired so that a control tray (nobloodworms) and a treated tray (bloodworms added) were grown in a controlled environmentroom for the duration of the experiment. After this, rice plants were carefullyextracted, the root system washed and root area determined for the tray using an imageanalysis system described by Stevens et al. [1999]. Two pairs of trays, each pair correspondingto a different variety, were included in each run. A new batch of bloodwormlarvae was used for each run. A total of 44 varieties was investigated with three replicatesof each. Unfortunately the variety concurrence within runs was less than optimal.Eight varieties occurred with only one other variety, 22 with two other varieties and theremaining 14 with three different varieties.The following subsections present an exhaustive analysis of these data using equivalentunivariate and multivariate techniques. It is convenient to use two data frames, one foreach approach. The univariate data frame> rice names(rice)[1] "Pair" "rootwt" "Run" "sqrtroot" "Tmt" "Variety"has factors Pair, Run, Variety, Tmt and variates rootwt and sqrtroot. The factorPair labels pairs of trays (to which varieties are allocated) and Tmt is the two levelbloodworm treatment factor (control/treated).
