Please note - some of the trials in this document are not replicated trials. They are trials where half the block is given 1 treatment, while the other half is given another treatment. These trial results are not as reliable as replicated trials (1 block is split into 4 or more segments with each treatment conducted more than once) because any yield differences could simply be due to the fact that each half of the paddock produces different yields anyway, due to soil type changes, drainage, irrigation etc. All trials in this document will be identified as either replicated or non-replicated.
