| To make interpretation easier, we display the difference from 100% rather than the full percentage. Some users found it difficult to understand how a value could be above 100% (e.g., 102%, 104%). By showing just the difference, we present a simple deviation from the trial mean (-2%, +2%, etc.). We went back and forth a lot on how best to display these metrics, and while we're still evaluating if relative yield is the best approach, it does allow data to be compared across environments—which is our main goal.
Regarding graphing no-till vs. tilled with side-by-side bars for each hybrid—if varieties are tested under those practices, they will display as you described. The data shown here only includes trials that tested this tillage practice, but if a conventional till practice were included, that would also appear in the results. Essentially, it pulls from the management practices within the trials you input.
Curious—do you typically analyze data like this? If so, how do you normally do it—Excel, another tool, or just field observations? Always interested in how others approach this!
