Summary

This paper provides estimates of varieties × environments and plot error variances based on more than 1000 trials of varieties of oats, barley, wheat, perennial and Italian ryegrass, timothy, cocksfoot, potato, sugar beet, swedes, autumn kale, forage maize and field beans. Tables of critical differences and acceptance probabilities are presented to guide in planning future series of trials.
