Test plots
Explanation:
Could this refer to test plots? i.e. when testing pesticides certain plots are sprayed and others (test plots) are not.

I found this:
שעור הנגיעות בפירות שלא רוסס כלל (היקש) היה בשיעור עד 25% שהוא שעור גבוה ונזק פוטנציאלי רב ליבול תמרים
from:
http://www.plants.org.il/plants/www/allfiles/TamarMop10.pdf

And the link shows how "test plots" seems to correlate to the description. "Analogy" plots just doesn't have the same resonance in English :)
I'm not as sure on this question, used up all my remaining brain cells on the last question, but this would be my guess.

Control plots


Explanation:
Hello again!

I was having tip of the tongue phenomenon with this one, I think "control plots" might be another possibility. (for the untreated plots) as these are the ones which form a baseline for comparison with the pesticide treated plots.
"A control plot serves as a baseline to compare other treatments"

I think either choice is possible though.
