Resumo

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and uniformity of multiple comparison tests when compared to clustering test applied in the software RBio. The evaluations were carried out using data of agricultural experiments conducted by the authors, in the experimental field of the Federal University of Goiás. The data analyzed were from three experiments conducted for lettuce and maize crops: the first was conducted in a completely randomized design; the second in a randomized block design; and the third in a randomized block design with split-plot arrangement. The evaluation of the data collected in the lettuce and maize crops was carried out using the software Rbio. The data were subjected to analysis of variance by the F test at 5% probability. The means were compared by multiple comparison (Tukey, Duncan, and Student-Newman-Keuls), and clustering (Scott-Knott) tests. The lower rigor of the Tukey, Student-Newman-Keuls, and Duncan tests results in higher incidence of type I error, and the ambiguity allowed by them generates difficulties in the interpretation of results. Considering that the Scott-Knott test does not allow for a mean to belong to more than one group and it has higher rigor, which generates a lower incidence of type I error, it is the recommended test for the studies evaluated.
