North Carolina designs I, II and III: example data

Simulated yields for the three North Carolina designs, each in a randomized complete block experiment with three replicates: Design I with six males each mated to four different females, Design II with five males crossed with four females, and Design III with twelve \(F_2\) males backcrossed to the two inbred parents P1 and P2. The data illustrate NCDesign.
