One plot has sandy soil, one has rocky soil, one has clay-rich sol, and one has average soil. She divides each of the four plots into three equal-sized portions and randomly labels them A B, and C. The four A portions of land are treated with her old fertilizer, the four B portions of land are treated with the new fertilizer, and the four C portions of land are treated with no fertilizer. At harvest time, the soybean yield is recorded for each section of land. Identify the experimental units.
