A Survey of the Applications of main Biometrical methodologies and relative Informatics tools applied in agricultural research

Abstract

Today, that the collection of biological data has been increasing at explosive rate, the right processing of these data is something more than a necessity. Fisher's work (1925) in conjunction with the vast increases in computer power that were implemented after the 1960s, have made possible much more efficient and exciting methods of data analysis (Curnow, 1984), thus opening the "bag of Aeolus" for the application of modern statistical techniques in agricultural experimentation and research. This study mainly seeks to survey biometrical methodologies that have been applied in the agricultural research, emphasizing in the segregation of the agriculture in six separate scientific fields.
