PCA biplot

Principal component analysis

PCA of soil and plant variables measured in six processing tomato fields. Soil physicochemical parameters and plant variables separated primarily by site along PC1, which explained 42% of variation. Samples separated secondarily by management within site, and a significant site  management interaction was observed.
