Abstract


The two simplest designs for field experiments: Completely Randomised and Randomised Block, are in use in the various Agricultural Research Stations of the State. The statistical analysis of experimental data arising from these designs are done by the well known "Analysis of Variance" method developed by R. A. Fisher. Use of this technique is straightforward and the whole analysis is easily done with the help of a calculating machine. The calculation of Sum of squares in this technique of analysis is much quickened by the use of a calculator. Unfortunately, in the absence of a calculating machine, the tedious calculations are done using Tables of Squares. The object of this paper is to place before the Research workers an alternative method which involves no calculation of "Sums of Squares" and consequently is quicker and less laborious.
