pesticide studies, statistics?
Does anyone have an idea what this abbreviation stands for? The context is a study on treatments applied in-furrow at planting to control potato scab (Streptomyces scabies). It appears in the list of objects/treatments (Modalités, Moda):
Moda 1 Témoin
Moda 2 [name of product] 200 g/ha
L'effet du traitement RDP m'est pas perceptible.
Moda 3 [name of product] 1 kg/ha
L'effet du traitement RDP m'est pas perceptible.
I cannot figure out what RDP stands for. Maybe it stands for a statistical term? To sum it up, none of these treatments were effective. Aucune différence entre les programmes testés et le témoin ne peut être mise en évidence pour cet essai.
Thanks for any suggestions.

French term (edited):
traitement RDP - raie de plantation
Selected
in-furrow treatment
See page 3 of this document:
https://www.evenements-arvalis.fr/journee-pomme-de-terre-arv...
It specifies "raie de plantation" for RDP, which according to IATE is "plant furrow", see here: https://iate.europa.eu/search/standard/result/1547298229804/...
I think "traitement raie de plantation" is known as "in-furrow treatment " in English, see here: https://tinyurl.com/yamqgnr5
Hope this helps, and hope the URLs work!

Happens all the time, John! Abbreviations generally suck, but don't when you know what they mean.

Comment: "I guess I should have picked up on that, since raie de plantation is also written out elsewhere and in my context I even said "treatments applied in-furrow. Sometimes these abbreviations aren't obvious and can throw you. Thanks!"

Obviously, this is already in English but the French lay also use this abbreviation : worth checking ?

ARN ribosomique et évolution
L'ARN de la petite sous-unité du ribosome est une molécule dont la séquence est très utilisée pour faire des études de phylogénie au moyen d'outils bio-informatiques. On la trouve conservée dans l'ensemble des organismes vivants. En comparant les séquences du gène de cet ARN chez différentes espèces, il est possible d'évaluer leur parenté évolutive. La base de données du "Ribosomal database project" rdp.cme.msu.edu [archive] recense les séquences de l'ARN ribosomique 16S ou 18S de plus de 270 000 espèces vivantes. Ces données permettent de reconstituer un arbre phylogénétique des espèces.

Or that it is the name of some producer of chemicals?
