Yes, I meant summary().  anova() isn't defined for aovlist objects and 
summary() is.

You will need to investigate the singular Error() model.  You might want
to use the simpler Error model

Error(block)

My guess is the plot term is redundant.

What are kotz.mice?  That variable isn't in the model you showed.

For more detailed help you will need to
"provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code."
