## Multi-environment trial of corn with nitrogen fertilizer

### Description

Corn yield response to nitrogen

### Format

A data frame with 54 observations on the following 4 variables.

`nitro`

  nitrogen fertilizer, pound/acre

`year`

  year

`loc`

  location

`yield`

  yield, bu/ac

### Details

Experiments were conducted in eastern Oregon during the years 1950-1952.

Planting rates varied from 15,000 to 21,000 planter per acre.
