Abstract: The need for information concerning the optimal plot size and shape for experiments performed in the Caribbean region is discussed, methods of determining optimal plot size and shape from suitable data are described, and the outlines of a research programme on these problems being conducted by the Biometrics Unit under sponsorship of the British Overseas Development Administration are given. Special mention is made of the need for suitable data from as many sources as possible in the Caribbean region.
