Weeds are one of the major constraints to food production in agricultural systems throughout the world, with their main impact being reducing crop yields through competition for water, light, space, and nutrients. Computer simulation modelling provides an important tool for helping to understand and predict crop-weed competition and the role it can play in integrated agricultural systems in increasing...
Plants evolve ecological strategies to optimally exploit the limited resources available in their environment, such as water. This involves accounting for temporal and spatial patterns in the availability of the resource. Simulation modelling can be used to explore how the optimality of different strategies depends on these patterns, thus giving insight into why different species of plants employ...
This paper presents a model called the Land-Use Sequence Optimiser (LUSO). The model is designed to be a tool for finding optimal land-use sequences, with a particular focus on analysing the role of break crops within these optimal sequences. In order to achieve this aim, representations of the important agro-ecological processes that drive the need for break crops are including in the model. An overview...
