Programme
Monday, 13th May -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
09:00 - 10:00 Registration
10:00 - 10:20 OPENNING
Prof. Husrev Mennan - Scientific Committee of the EWRS
Prof. Euro Pannacci - Chairman WG Weed Management Systems in Vegetables
Prof. Hanan Eizenberg - Chairman WG Weed Management in Arid and Semi-Arid Climate
10:20 - 13:00 WORKSHOP ON WEED EMERGENCE MODELLING AND R PRACTICE
(Dr. M. Mesgaran, UC Davis, USA)
This workshop will present both the theoretical underpinnings of germination/emergence and provide hands-on experience in developing predictive emergence models. The first section of the workshop (1.0 to 1.5 hours) will provide an overview of the biology of germination/emergence and various mathematical models that have been developed to characterize it. Example topics to be covered are:
- Emergence as multi-step process
- Type of emergence models
- Inputs and outputs of emergence models
- Species-specific parameters
As a computer lab practice, the second section of
workshop (about 2 hours) will use actual germination and field emergence data
to calibrate and validate an emergence model. We will use Excel and R for this
exercise: while prior experience in working with R is desirable no programing
skill is required for the purpose of this modeling practice. Attendees will
learn about various methods of estimating cardinal temperature, fitting
thermal-, hydro-, and hydrothermal-time models using Excel and R.
