title: 'TCpRepDesigns: Partially Replicated Test-Control Designs for Early Generation
  Varietal Trials'
version: 0.0.1
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 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) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s12355-025-01684-1>
  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.
