Explanation / Answer

We are given that,

Tomatoes are planted on I 54 acre field.

Field is divided into 1 acre subplots

A sample is taken for me to subplot to estimate the harvest.

So, Starified Sampling is used in this case, since the field is divided sub-plots (stratas) and a random sample is taken from it.

Potential sources of Bias in this case are:

1. There is a chance that all sub-plots are not identical (may be there could be diffrences in seeds, irrigation, fertilizers etc.)

2. Some specific sub-plots with high (or low) yield could have be selected purposefully
