Abstract

A delimited optimum plot size of any crop is one of the ways to increase an experimental precise and also maximize obtained information about the experiment. No research works related to the sizing of the optimum plot size with radish (Raphanus sativus) champion variety are registered in Paraguay. Therefore, in order to provide information regarding the appropriate sizing of cultivation patches, this study’s objective was to estimate the optimum plot size in field with radish champion variety using a method based on the linear model segmented plateau response. Therefor a uniformity test on the radish was made. The basic experimental unit was defined on nine plants (0.09 m²), subsequently eight different particle sizes were simulated and the coefficient of variation was determined for each of the groups that resulted in a non-linear regression. The conditions on which the experiment had been through lets us see in the results that 99 plants or 1m square area is an optimum estimated plot size for radish cultivation.
