  <dc:title>Partially Replicated Test-Control Designs for Early Generation
Varietal Trials</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package TCpRepDesigns version 0.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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 efficient p-rep test-control
    designs with one or more control treatments. The package
    extends the partially replicated design framework of
    Vinaykumar et al. (2026) &lt;doi:10.1007/s12355-025-01684-1&gt;
    to accommodate test-control comparisons in breeding
    trials. Functions are also provided for generating
    randomized and non-randomized layouts and for evaluating
    designs using average variance measures for
    test-versus-test and test-versus-control comparisons,
    together with canonical efficiency factors. The proposed
    designs are useful for large-scale varietal evaluation
    trials where a large number of test lines are assessed
    under limited experimental resources.</dc:description>
