| Summary, etc. | This investigation was taken up to determine optimum size of experimental units for coconut using multivariate approach. Observations on yield, female flower production, percentage of buttons set and number of functional leaves from 184 coconut palms for two consecutive years were utilised. These palms belonged to two separate experiments in two locations. All known systematic effects were eliminated from the observations. The trees were arranged in the ascending order of the number of functional leaves of first year of observations. Experimental units of sizes ranging from single tree to ten trees were formed by combining trees adjacent in the list of ordered trees. Blocks of five plots, seven plots and ten plots were also formed by combining adjacent plots. Coefficient of variation in univariate case and determinant of relative dispersion matrix in multivariate case were the measures of variation used. Optimum size of experimental units was determined in univariate case for yield and female flower production in first and second years. Optimum size of plots was determined in multivariate case for the following character combinations. 1) Yield for first and second year 2) Female flower production for first and second years 3) Yield and female flower production for first and second year 4) Yield, female flower production and percentage of buttons set for the first year 5) Yield female flower production and percentage of bottons set for the second year Optimum size of plot was determined by three different criteria viz., (i) that which requires minimal experimental material for a specified precision (ii) that having maximum efficiency and (iii) that which maximises the curvature of the relationship between measure of variation and plot size. Plot size that required minimum number of trees for 5 per cent error was two tree plots except in the univariate case of yield in first year and multivariate case of without blocking for characters sets (4) and (5) for which single tree plots were optimum. In all univariate determinations single tree plots had maximum efficiency. Two tree plots had maximum efficiency in multivariate approach except for characters sets (4) and (5) in the case of no blocking. Four tree plot was optimum by the method of maximum curvature except for characters sets (3), (4) and (5) is multivariate case for which three tree plots were optimum. Though Fair Field Smith's law was a good fit to the relationship between the measure of variation and plot size, Y = a +b/√x+ c/x gave better fit in most of the cases. Two tree plots were recommended for experiments it) established coconut gardens. |
