Abstract
Alternative mathematical models for the analysis of growth curves replicated in time are fitted and their efficiencies in a field growth study compared. Modifications of the models necessary for their application to data where the time replication interval is greater than the recording interval are described. The magnitude of bias in the parameters fitted because of systematic errors in the preliminary cutting of the plots, is determined. An example of the mathematical procedure is also given.
