title: 'TCpRepDesigns: Partially Replicated Test-Control Designs for Early Generation
  Varietal Trials'
version: 0.0.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.TCpRepDesigns
abstract: Provides functions for generating partially replicated (p-rep) test-control
  designs for early generation varietal trials conducted across multiple environments.
  The package implements three construction methods for obtaining p-rep test-control
  designs with one or more control treatments. The package extends the partially replicated
  design framework of Vinaykumar et al. (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s12355-025-01684-1>
  to accommodate test-control comparisons in breeding trials. Functions are provided
  for generating randomized and non-randomized layouts and for displaying the design
  parameters and treatment allocations for each environment. The proposed designs
  are useful for large-scale varietal evaluation trials where a large number of test
  lines are assessed under limited experimental resources.
