Abstract

Neighbor designs have their own importance in the experiments to remove the neighbor effects where the performance of a treatment is affected by the treatments applied to its adjacent plots. If each pair of distinct treatments appears exactly once as neighbors, neighbor designs are called minimal. Most of the neighbor designs require a large number of blocks of equal sizes. In this situation minimal neighbor designs in unequal block sizes are preferred to reduce the experimental material. In this article some series are presented to construct minimal neighbor designs in circular blocks of unequal sizes.
