Abstract

The efficiency of various Latin Square Designs (LSD) over Complete Randomized Designs (CRD) and Randomized Complete Block Designs (RCBD) in natural grasslands of Chambal ravines in southeastern Rajasthan, were worked out. The relative efficiency percentage of 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 LSD for different plot sizes and shapes were comparable to CRD and RCBD when rows were treated as blocks (ignoring columns), and when columns were treated as blocks (ignoring rows), The number of units required in CRD and RCBD, taking rows· as blocks or columns as blocks, for obtaining the relative efficiency (RE) equivalent to that of 3x3 to'6x6 LSD, were also evaluated. It was found that LSD was more efficient "than CRD and RCBD for experimentation in natural grasslands of Chambal ravine in southeastern Rajasthan
