Performance factorial of ANOVA in SAS 9.0

I'm Vira. I'm a beginner in SAS. I want to perform data analysis of my research in SAS 9.0.

Firstly, let me briefly describe about my experimental design. The experiment laid out on split-plot design with four replications:

1. The experiment consists of two rice cultivation methods, conventional tillage (CT) compared with no-till system (NT)
2. The experiment designed to test on four rice growing sequences (RS): RS1: 1 rice/year, RS2: 2 rice/year ( 1st rice sown in April and harvested in early July. 2nd rice sown at the end of July and harvested in November) RS3: 2 rice/year (1st rice sown in July and harvested in November. 2nd rice sown in December and harvested in the March of the following year), and RS4: 3 rice/year.

3. Three levels of fertilization were applied to each treatment: low (F0), medium (F1), and high (F2).

4. I obtained soil samples from four depths of soil layer (cm): D1 (0-5), D2 (5-10), D3 (10-20), and D4 (20-40).

In summary, there are four factors and four replications in my experiment:

1. Tow cultivation method: CT & NT

2. Four rice growing sequences: RS1, RS2, RS3, and RS4

3. Three levels of fertilization: F0, F1, and F2

4. Four depths of soil layer: D1, D2, D3, and D4.

I'd like to be recommended the most appropriated procedure in SAS to perform the data analysis in my research, and its procedure.

I'm waiting to hearing from all of you.

Thanks in advace for advice!

With regards,

Vira168

Do whatever you can to get a copy of SAS for Mixed Models, 2nd ed., by Littell et al. It has lots of code for split-split plot models.

Assuming the response is yield (MT/ha or something similar), then PROC MIXED is almost certainly where you want to go. Some of your factors are internally correlated (soil depth) in a spatial sense, while the others are each a successive split of the plots.

I am thinking of something like:

proc mixed;
class cult_method seq fert depth rep;
model yield =cult_method|seq|fert|depth;
random intercept/subject=rep;
 /* very simple at first, but should probably include at least first order interactions as well */
lsmeans cult_method|seq|fert|depth/diff adjust=simulate(seed=1) adjdfe=row;
run;

Dear SteveDenm,

I hope that all is well with you.

Thank you very much for your prompt response and recommendation. I got the copy of SAS for Mixed models, and I'll perform the analysis soon.

I'll keep you informed about my progress.

Thanks for your time and support!

Best regards,
