I have recently submitted a paper in one of the journals of 'Elsevier'. In that paper I wanted to explore the effect of boron doses and application methods on seed yield of Jute. For the experiment I have used two factor RCBD design. But one of the reviewer asked why I have used two factor RCBD instead of split plot design, as there are two factors (doses and methods) involed in the experiment. Now how should I answer this question. Kindly give me some suggestions.
