Advantages of LSD
LSD tabs are more efficient than RBD or CRD.
This is because of double grouping that will result in small experimental error.
When missing values are present, missing plot technique can be used and analysed.ODER HERE
Disadvantages of LSD
This design is not as flexible as RBD or CRD as the number of treatments is limited to the number of rows and columns.
LSD is seldom used when the number of treatments is more than 12.
LSD is not suitable for treatments less than five. Because of the limitations on the number of treatments, LSD is not widely used in agricultural experiments.
Note: The number of sources of variation is two for CRD, three for RBD and four for LSD.
