Abstract:
Correctness of experimental design and reasonability of statistical analysis influence the correctness of the results when conducting scientific experiments. Currently, statistical issues in crop study have caused much negative influence to scientific and technological innovation in China. We describe the problematic areas which occurred frequently when conducting crop experiments, which includes ignoring experiment design and statistical analysis, lack of study planning, placing importance on study results only when
p values are less than.05, indiscriminant application of regression and analysis of variance, issue with repeated measurement data, and improper statistical expression, and suggest some resolutions to some of the problems, so that the related researchers can improve their research ability, make better use of statistics, and increase the efficiency of scientific and technological innovation.
