Abstract	Four plot shapes were compared using four replications of 60 clones. The shapes were 4-row long (4L), 4-row short (4S), 2-row long (2L) and 1-row long (1L). The standard length of 9.2m was used for long plots, short plots being 4.6m. A special design was used to compare all plot shapes in sub-blocks of six clones, but it was analysed as randomised complete blocks. With guard rows and ends the trial occupied 3.7 ha. It was located on the farm of L Johnson in the Mulgrave mill area.
