Abstract
We consider designs in linear blocks with border plots, in which a treatment may affect the response on the two adjacent plots. Three series of designs are given: (i) neighbour-balanced designs in complete blocks; (ii) neighbour-balanced designs in blocks each of which lacks one treatment; (iii) partially neighbour-balanced designs in few complete blocks. Complete methods of construction and randomization are given. Optimality properties are discussed.
