Last year I planted 88 beans in four different orientations defined by the direction the 'scar' was pointing in: Up, Down, Sideways Lateral and Sideways Vertical. The 'scar down' seeds emerged first and had no failures. The 'scar sideways vertical' beans did worst. But were my results statistically significant? I don't have the technical ability to judge this. So this year I'm planting 132 beans (of 6 different varieties). Half of each variety have been sown scar down and half sideways vertical. I will score them by day of emergence and failure to emerge. Will there be a difference between the two groups this year?
