Riassunto

This textbook provides a comprehensive survey of design and analysis of experiments for intercropping experiments. Its main themes are that techniques such as relative indices make it possible to cover a wide variety of conditions, and that statistical models for density-yield relations enable recommendations to be made to growers of crops.
