Hi,
You didn't provide a reproducible example (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example)  So, it is difficult to comment.

Using the dataset(sweetpotato)

library(agricolae)
data(sweetpotato)
m1<-aov(yield~virus, data=sweetpotato)
df1<-df.residual(m1)
MSerror1<-deviance(m1)/df1
out <- LSD.test(sweetpotato$yield,sweetpotato$virus,df1,MSerror1)

out$statistics
#    Mean      CV  MSerror      LSD
 # 27.625 17.1666 22.48917 8.928965

A.K.


Hi, 
I have been trying to do a LSD test on some data but I get everything except the actual LSD value 

m1 <- aov(T50~WPT , data = P) 
m1 
TukeyHSD(m1) 
df<-df.residual(m1) 
MSerror<-deviance(m1)/df 
LSD.test(P$T50,P$WPT,df,MSerror) 

also tried a few variations but kept getting this same result
