The BMS will generate several different study designs. Randomized designs are created via ASreml design engine, a proprietary element of the BMS. When you run a design, the system checks the license via internet. If you experience an error message about a missing regarding the license, please contact your BMS system administrator. Checks can be included in study designs (see more about checks under Study Germplasm). The BMS will accept any design via import of design .csv file (see more below).

In a Resolvable Incomplete block design plots are grouped into blocks that are not large enough to contain all germplasm (treatments). Resolvable blocks are created by grouping incomplete blocks together, so that each treatment is replicated exactly once in each group or set. Number Number of germplasm cannot be prime. Block size must be greater than 1 and a common denominator of the number of germplasm.
Select Resolvable Incomplete Block Design as the experimental design. Enter the number of desired replications. Enter the blocks size.
...
Partially Replicated or P-Rep designs fully replicate check entries and a proportion of test entries in every study instance - thus permitting a limited inventory of test germplasm to be tested over a larger number of environments. Entry type is specified in Studies under the Germplasm & Checks tab (see https://ibplatform.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BMS/pages/2627667670/v22+Study+Germplasm#Set-Entry-Type ). Germplasm designated as a “non-replicated” entry type, will be randomly placed once at each location in a p-rep design. At least one check must be specified. The number of blocks must be a common denominator of the number of plots.
Caution!
P-rep design requires that you manually generate a new design per environment to ensure that different subsets of test entries are selected for every environment.
Enter the percentage of test entries to replicate and the number of replications. Notice that the number of plots is calculated automatically. Enter the number of blocks and generate the design.
