| Abstract/Contents: | "Spatial correlations among plots have been shown to influence the precision of trials. This correlation may be caused by physical relationship among plots as well as temporal relationships during visual quality or color ratings. Nearest neighbor analysis (NNA) can improve the precision of estimates obtained from trials in which spatial correlation is present. We reanalyzed turf quality ratings from eight and five locations, respectively, of the 1990 perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass trials conducted as part of the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. Each trial had at least 99 entries, which were replicated three times in a RCB arrangement. The relative efficiency of NNA trials compared to the underlying RCB ranged from 120 to 327%, indicating that the spatial correlation in these trials was very strong. The top ranked 20% of entries in the NNA analysis contained 40-85% of the top ranked entries from the traditional analysis. In six sets of observations belonging to three locations conventional analysis failed to identify the top ranked entry. The NNA adjustments for the bottom 20% of the entries were even greater. In 10% of the 105 locations x rating combinations evaluated the RCB analysis identified fewer than 15% of the bottom 20% of the entries. These large changes in rank at the bottom were most prevalent for the perennial ryegrass trials." |
