Table 3.

Results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using mixed models to examine differences in pine weevil damage (PWD; in classes 0–5, or as a continuous variable based on mid-class values, Table 2) between Norway spruce emblings and two types of seedlings in Trial A.

Family 6.1% 2.4 0.009 7.3% 2.6 0.005 3.6% 1.4 0.076
Clone 10.8% 3.0 0.001 8.4% 2.4 0.008 30.3% 6.7 <0.0001

Models included block and plant type (emblings, unpruned seedlings, and pruned seedlings) as fixed factors, and half-sib family and clone (within family) as random factors. Var. expl. for random effects indicates the percentage of total random variance (Family, Clone, and Residual) explained by each component.
