Hello,
I am fitting curves in drc to a Log-logistic 4-parameter model.

My experiment is looking at fall and spring applications of a herbicide on
wild oat at 5 different locations.  A preliminary mixed model ANOVA showed
that timing was significant.  I am running a dose response curve for each
application timing at each location.  However, when I run them all
together, my one fall location has estimated b,c,d and e, however the
standard error for all of them is NaNS.  When I run only the fall location
on its own, there is no problem in getting standard errors for all my
parameters.

What is the difference between running it alone and running it with other
curves?  How can I fix the NaNS standard errors in the multiple curves as I
need to be able to compare ED50s.
The data for the curve alone is below.  When I run it with the rest of the
curves they are separated by biotype.  Dependent variable is square root
biomass (srbiomass) and treatment (Trt) is the independent variable.
