Prediction of emergence of Flixweed (Descurainia sophia) and Wild Oat (Avena fatua) using thermal time models in Winter Rapeseed (Brassica napus)
Authors
Abstract:
A thermal time (TT) model was developed to simulate field emergence of two weed species (flixweed and wild oat) in winter rapeseed. Practical predictive weed emergence models can provide information about timing of weed emergence. Non-linear regression models are usually able to accurately predict field emergence under specific environmental conditions. In the present study, cumulative seedling emergence in response to TT was described by the Weibull, Logistic, Gompertz, Sigmoid and Chapman functions. Some criteria were used to describe the goodness of fit of the models. These criteria includ coefficient of determination (r2adj), root mean square of error (RMSE) and Akaike index (AIC). In both species (Descurainia sophia: RMSE= 3.65, r2adj=0.97, AIC=88.87; Avena fatua: RMSE= 2.59, r2adj=0.99, AIC=45.83) the seedling emergence flushes were well described with the Weibull four-parameter function. To start emergence after sowing and to reach maximum emergence, lower TT requirements were observed in A. fatua than in D. sophia. Seedling emergence increased steadily and reached from 50% to 90% of total emergence at 315 and 543 TT, respectively for D. sophia and 70 and 286 TT, respectively for A. fatua.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the competitive effects of different densities of wild mustardas against rapeseed. The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replicationsusing replacement series in which wild mustard and rapeseed were respectively planted in different ratios of 4:0, 3:1,2:2, 1:3 and 0:4 plants per pot. Results indicated that t...

The objectives of this study were to determine the pattern of dry matter (DM) accumulation and the evolution of phenolic compounds in the rhizosphere soil from tillering to the ripe seed stages of wild oat (Avena fatua L.), a widespread annual grassy weed. Plants were grown under controlled conditions and harvested 13 times during the growing season. At each harvest, shoot and root DM and pheno...

Weed emergence models and weed population models have shown to be important tools for decision making. However, there have been no attempts to integrate a weed emergence model with a population dynamics model to build an improved model with increased predictive capacity. In this paper, a method of integrating both types of model is presented and an application building a mathematical model base...

A set of 56 diallel F1 hybrids (with reciprocals) including their parents were evaluated in a 8×8 simple lattice design with two replications during 2007/08. Several agronomic traits like Plant height, number of lateral branches per pod, nu...
