The development of a wild oat simulation model for APSIM

摘要

In this paper we describe preliminary investigations into the development of a wild oat model that can be integrated into the APSIM modelling framework, with the aim of simulating crop weed interactions. This paper describes the initial development ofthe wild oat model and shows validation results against experimental data. The paper then explores the possibilities of using a wild oat model to understand weed competition and climate variability within a farming system context.
