Abstract

Specially in an agricultural design of experiment the treatment received by a plot may affect the other response on the neighbouring plots of a same block or it may happen to affect the response on the following plot. For example of the second condition, the tall varieties may affect the other crops grown on the neighbouring plots by their shades. Bailey (2003) has developed such design concerned with the study of one sided neighbour effect, under the above mentioned second condition. This paper gives a new series of Universally Optimal One-Sided Circular Neighbour Balanced designs.
