Summary

In this paper we present a series of resolvable incomplete block designs suitable for variety trials with any number of varieties v in the range 20 ≤v ≤ 100. These designs usefully supplement existing square and rectangular lattices. They are not necessarily optimal in the sense of having smallest possible variances but their efficiencies are known to be high.
