Simulated randomized complete block experiment on moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) with eight nutrient management treatments in four blocks and eight traits.

Usage

mothbean_rbd

Format

A data frame with 32 rows and 10 variables:

block

Factor, block (R1-R4).

treatment

Factor, eight treatments (control, recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), and RDF with biofertilizers, FYM, sulphur or zinc).

seed_yield

Seed yield (kg/ha).

plant_height

Plant height at harvest (cm).

branches_per_plant

Branches per plant.

pods_per_plant

Pods per plant.

seeds_per_pod

Seeds per pod.

test_weight

1000-seed weight (g).

stover_yield

Stover yield (kg/ha).

harvest_index

Harvest index (%).

Source

Simulated with data-raw/make_datasets.R (seed 2026). Not real experimental data.
