Plot trial with results by treatment

For anyone testing fertilisers, varieties or crop protection strategies, the drone measures every plot with the same method at the same moment. In Agronix you lay the grid on the field, assign the treatments and at every survey get the values by plot and the comparison between treatments, ready for the report.

Plots and results by treatment

Plots

Lay the grid and assign the treatments

Plot size, rows, columns and orientation: the grid is laid on the field. Treatments are assigned in randomised blocks, in sequence, from a CSV file or by hand; each plot has its own code.

  • Randomised blocks or free design
  • Treatments from CSV or by hand
  • Control specified

Results

Tell real differences apart

From every survey: vegetation indices, green cover and heights by plot, with the mean by treatment and the difference from the control. Analysis of variance, by blocks or one-way, and the least significant difference separate significant differences from chance ones.

  • Block or one-way ANOVA
  • LSD against the control
  • Excel, CSV, PDF, shapefile, KML, GeoJSON
