Paper Highlight: Making Sense of Unreplicated On-Farm Experiments
This paper presents a methodological framework designed to help interpret unreplicated OFEs, especially in situations where yield maps are unavailable. The paper contrasts what farmers learn from average yield comparisons versus spatial and causal analyses enriched with soil, terrain, weather, and management data, revealing how added context can sharpen interpretation of real-world trials. Together, these comparisons show how scientists can support farmer-led OFE by applying appropriate analytical methods to the data farmers already collect, even when classical experimental designs are not feasible.
