R examples in Agronomy

Hello,

For introductory material there is--of course--Immer's Barley Data
(popularized by Bill Cleveland), and used extensively in R to
demonstrate lattice graphics:
Note the example dotplot() at the bottom of the "barley" help page,
and also on the "barchart" help page. The citation is included, and
there is also other commentary online:

Immer, R. F., H. K. Hayes, and LeRoy Powers. (1934). Statistical
Determination of Barley Varietal Adaptation.  Journal of the American
Society of Agronomy, 26, 403?419.
Wright, Kevin (2013). Revisiting Immer's Barley Data. The American
Statistician, 67(3), 129?133.

For a more extensive collection of agronomic data, take a look at the
"agridat" package. There's a nice vignette as well.

HTH,
