"Autocorrelation"
 if red is correlated with NDVI, what does this mean?


Is this "Autocorrelation" plotting yield as a function of distance, since distance (x) was used to compute yield (y)?

Covariance (go to RCBD example, #222, use GN as a covariate)

Covariance using preplant soil test P as the covariate:

Rule: Run anova using preplant P as a dependent variable.  Treatment cannot be significant.
Requires Planning!
