A farmer divided his piece of land into 4 equivalent groups. The quality of the soil is the same across the 4 groups of land. He planted the same crop in all 4 groups of land and recorded the yield of the crop in all 4 groups for a 4 week period. Is the study observational or experimental?

Experimental

Explanation:

Experimental study is the study in which researcher has some control over the variables where he can experiment and test over the groups. Observational study provides no control to researcher .He can only observe the process.
