Reps
Treatments
Experimental design
BAP
3
30 lines (12 PS, 12 sweet, 6 grain)
RCB with sorghum types nested in groups
Night illumination
3
5 illumination levels x 2 PS lines (with check line separating illumination levels)
RCB
Row #
3
6 adjacent plot scenarios: 3 lines (forage, sweet, PS) x 2 sides (east or west)
RCB but not balanced with all treatments in all reps
Biomass
3
5 sampling times x 3 lines (forage, sweet, PS)
RCB with sampling time as a repeated measure
Density
3
3 densities (5, 15, 30 cm) x 3 lines (forage, sweet, PS)
RCB
RILs
3
130 RILs plus 10 repeats of a single line/rep
Incomplete Block (row-column alpha lattice design)
Uniformity
17
2 lines (forage, PS)
None - Same line planted in single range
