title: Seed treatment affected establishment and yield in two pennycress lines

description: This dataset contains data related to pennycress establishment, growth,
 and yield as affected by applied treatments and site effects. Data related
 to sites includes field location, management practices of tillage,
 rotational crop, and soil type, and precipitation before and after
 planting. Treatments tested include two genetic pennycress lines
 (black-seeded line called 'MN106NS' and a golden-seeded line
 called 'tt8-t/ARV1') and six seed treatments: 1) non-treated
 control, 2) a treatment where seeds were soaked for 12 hrs in 0.01% w/w
 solution of Gibberellic Acid A4+A7, 3) treament with fludioxonil fungicide
 at a rate of 50 μg ai per g of seed, 4) seeds were pelleted using a
 commercial binder and diatomaceous earth as the filler, 5) a combination
 of pelleting + fungicide, and 6) the pelleting treatment in 4) but added
 0.01% w/w GA solution to the binding agent during pellet construction plus
 the fungicide. All combinations of pennycress line and seed treatment were
 assigned a unique value from 1-12 as described in the column header
 information for "Treatment" within the dataset.

 Description of the data and file structure This file begins with the first
 column showing descriptor lines for all data columns within the
 spreadsheet. The first six rows of the datasheet contain information about
 each column. For the data within the file, treated seeds of two pennycress
 lines were planted at 10 locations in the United States Midwest. Design
 was a randomized complete plot at each location with three replicates of
 treatment. Plots were hand-seeded in the autumn of 2021, and initial site
 characteristics and planting date were collected and reported in columns
 E-I. Assigned experimental units are reported in J-L, and initial plot
 data for surface conditions at time of planting are shown in columns M-N.
 Site specific weather stations were used to record daily precipitation
 totals before and after planting (columns O-AJ). Autumn establishment and
 spring survival data were measured on each plot and are reported in AK-AN.
 Assessment of plant integrity at harvest and yield data are the remaining
 columns within the file. Missing data for a given variable within a plot
 is denoted solely with a "." value as data was not or could not
 be collected in the specific instance. ### Files and variables #### File:
