In Section 1 the approach of improving crop yields by the development of agriculture and addition of various mineral or organic substances in the last 200–300 years is investigated. In Section 2 the principle of randomized experiments is treated. Section 3 describes the variety trials of field crops. The elimination of effects in two dimensions is shown in Section 4 on Row–Column designs. Fertilizer trials are treated in Section 5 (qualitative factors) and in Section 6 (quantitative factors). Field trials with spatial analysis are discussed in Section 7. In Section 8 remarks on analysis and optimal experimental design are made. Supplementary materials accompanying this paper appear on-line

农业试验统计设计的历史

在第 1 节中，研究了过去 200-300 年通过农业发展和添加各种矿物质或有机物质来提高作物产量的方法。第 2 节讨论了随机实验的原理。第 3 节描述了大田作物的品种试验。在第 4 节行列设计中显示了二维效应的消除。肥料试验在第 5 部分（定性因素）和第 6 部分（定量因素）中处理。第 7 节讨论了带空间分析的田间试验。第 8 节对分析和最佳实验设计进行了评论。本文随附的补充材料出现在网上
