Hi Nair,
You will have to give more information than that.

This looks like you have only two categorical explanatory variables. It
would help if you gave more information about the number of samples you
have, and the different treatments.

This means that you have either too many parameters for the number of
samples, or one (or more) of your variables are linear combinations of
the other variables. Unless you show what you are doing, nobody will be
able to say much more than that.
