Herbicide applied to Galium aparine
Small plants of Galium aparine, growing in pots in a green house, were sprayed with the technical grade phenmidipham herbicide either alone or in mixture with an ester of oleic acid. The plants were allowed to grow in the green house for 14 days after herbicide treatment. Then the dry matter was measured per pot.
data(G.aparine)
A data frame with 240 observations on the following 3 variables.
dosea numeric vector of dose value (g/ha)
drymattera numeric vector of dry matter weights (mg/pot)
treatmenta numeric vector giving the grouping: 0: control, 1,2: herbicide formulations
