After Further Review: An Update On Modeling And Design Strategies For Agricultural Dose-Response Experiments, M. J. Frenzel, W. W. Stroup, E. T. Paparozzi
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Research investigating dose-response relationships is common in agricultural science. This paper is an expansion on previous work by Guo, et al. (2006) motivated by plant nutrition research in horticulture. Plant response to level of nutrient applied is typically sigmoidal, i.e. no response at very low levels, observable response at mid-levels, point-of-diminishing returns and plateau at high levels. Plant scientists need accurate estimates of these response relationships for many reasons, including determining the lower threshold below which plants show deficiency symptoms and the point of diminishing returns, above which excessive doses are economically and environmentally costly. Guo et al. presented models …

Research investigating dose-response relationship is common in agricultural science. Animal response to drug dose and plant response to amount of irrigation, pesticide, or fertilizer are familiar examples. This paper is motivated by plant nutrition research in horticulture. Plant response to level of nutrient applied is typically sigmoidal, i.e. no response at very low levels, observable response at mid-levels, point-of-diminishing returns and plateau at high levels. Plant scientists need accurate estimates of these response relationships 1) to determine lower threshold below which plants show deficiency symptoms and 2) to determine upper point-of-diminishing returns, above which excessive doses are economically and environmentally …

Determination Of The Inoculation Frequency, Timing Of Inoculation And Dose Of A Bacterial Ruminal Inoculant For Acidosis Prevention In Feedlot Cattle, J. F. Boucher, W. J. Smolenski, J. A. Robinson
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
We are evaluating the efficacy of a ruminal bacterial inoculant (Megasphaera elsdenii 407 A) for prevention of acute acidosis in grain-fed cattle. As a part of this process, we examined the effects of inoculation frequency, timing of inoculation and dose of 407 A for prevention of acute acidosis in ruminally fistulated cattle. Three levels of frequency, two levels of timing and three doses were considered, however, a complete 3x2x3 factorial study was not run because of resource constraints. The study was conducted in two separate trials. The first was designed as a 3x2 factorial experiment with inoculation frequency and timing …
