ABSTRACT The statistical interpretation of experimental results is inherent to the research process. Therefore, every researcher is expected to have basic understanding on the subject. In vegetable crops, the planning, implementing and data gathering is more complex due to specific aspects related to this group of plants, such as intensive management and high labor requirement to carry out the experiments, uneven fruit maturation and heterogeneity of the experimental area. Since all these factors are sources of variability within the experiment, circumventing them in the experiment planning and implementing phases is fundamental to reduce the experimental error. Furthermore, the knowledge of statistical tests and the assumptions for their use is equally critical to make the research statistically valid. The present work presents the problems of unwanted variability within an experiment with vegetables and the possibilities to reduce and manage it. We discuss alternatives to reduce the variability due to uncontrolled effects within an experiment; the most common experimental designs; recommendation of appropriate statistical tests for each type of treatment; and techniques for the diagnosis of residues. We expect to contribute with researchers dealing with vegetable crops, offering subsidies to aid researchers in the planning and implementation of experiments and in the analysis and interpretation of experimental results.
