Calculation method
Calculation method
Total plots
Treatments × replicate blocks.
Field footprint width (m)
Treatments × plot width + (treatments − 1) × plot alley.
Field footprint length (m)
Blocks × plot length + (blocks − 1) × block alley.
Plot treatment labels and lower-left coordinates (m)
Block rows progress in length; treatment columns progress in width, at x=(t−1)×(plot width+alley), y=(r−1)×(plot length+block alley).
Area occupied by plots (m²)
Plot count × plot width × plot length.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- A labelled rectangular repeated-block footprint with no outer margin. Treatment order is deliberately fixed, not randomised; experimental randomisation, agronomic suitability and statistical design need separate work.
