Synopsis

The correct design, analysis and interpretation of plant science experiments is imperative for continued improvements in agricultural production worldwide. The enormous number of design and analysis options available for correctly implementing, analysing and interpreting research can be overwhelming. SAS® is the most widely used statistical software in the world and the SAS® University Edition is now freely available for academic institutions. This is a user-friendly guide to statistics using SAS® University Edition, ideal for facilitating the design and analysis of plant science experiments. It presents the most frequently used statistical methods in an easy-to-follow and non-intimidating fashion, and teaches the appropriate use of SAS® within the context of plant science research. This book: - Covers experimental designs and data analysis protocols - Is presented as a how-to guide with many examples - Includes freely downloadable data sets - Examines key topics such as merging data frames, multivariate analysis and linear regression Authored by an experienced teacher of applied plant science statistics, this book assumes no prior background in statistics and guides users through the appropriate methodologies in research. It is an invaluable tool for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, in addition to researchers, extension consultants, faculty and technicians.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

I received my BS in Horticulture from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, my MS in Horticulture from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, and my Ph.D. in Horticultural Science from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC. I joined the Horticulture Department at Rutgers in 1986 and conducted tree fruit physiology research, including peach flower bud cold hardiness, rootstock - scion interactions in peach and apple and consumer acceptance of disease resistant apple cultivars. From the late 1990's through 2005 my research focused on photoperiod and temperature conditioning of strawberry plug plants for off-season production. From 2006 - 2016 my research program was placed on hiatus to serve as Director of the Student Sustainable Farm at Rutgers, a student-run 5-acre CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm with 50 to 175 shareholders that provided experiential learning of organic vegetable, herb and flower production for students at Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey. In 2016 I returned to my roles in teaching and research, investigating alternative strawberry production systems and plant conditioning and goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) as a new fruit crop for North America. I teach or have taught 'Applied Plant Science Statistics', 'Applied Physiology of Hort Crops', 'Agroecology Practicum', 'Fruit Production', 'Seminar in Horticulture' and 'Perspectives on Agriculture & the Environment'.
