Latin SquareLatin SquareAdvantage of latin square designs is their

accuracy and ability to remove gradients in two directions.

Disadvantage is that they require large levels of replication. A 10 entry experiment would require 100 experimental units.

Restrictions on insecticides on beans stop BMV.

Aphids max out at 5 weeks before harvest.

Apply 6” of water, one inch/4 weeks.

Reduced irrigation: early maturity, less cost.


Reduced N accelerated maturity and reduces cost.

Early maturity is important to avoid aphids and hence BMV.
