IPSIM (Injury Profile SIMulator) is a generic modelling framework presented in a companion paper. It aims at predicting a crop injury profile as a function of cropping practices and abiotic and biotic environment. IPSIM's modelling approach consists of designing a model with an aggregative hierarchical tree of attributes. In order to provide a proof of concept, a model, named IPSIM-Wheat-Eyespo...

this research was conducted to assess the effects of management and environmental factors on the weed species richness of winter crops in ilam province. in order to recognize the weed species, three counties were selected based on the type of climate in 2011-2012. according to the cultivated areas of winter crops in each county, 48 fields were chosen and demographic information was calculated b...

A supervised feature selection algorithm was applied to determine the most important features contributing to wheat grain yield. Four hundreds seventy two fields (as records) from different parts of Iran which were different in 21 characteristics (features) were selected for feature selection analysis. Selection of the wide range of features, including location, genotype, irrigation regime, fer...

the sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps put. is an important pest of wheat in firozabad region of ardabil province, iran. in this study the spatial distribution of overwintered adult was investigated in rainfed wheat fields. then, fixed precision sequential sampling plan was developed and validated for estimating overwintered adult density. iwao's patchiness regression gave a better fit to d...

Glyphosate-resistant (GR) Kochia scoparia has evolved in dryland chemical fallow systems throughout North America and the mechanism of resistance involves 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene duplication. Agricultural fields in four states were surveyed for K. scoparia in 2013 and tested for glyphosate-resistance level and EPSPS gene copy number. Glyphosate resistance was co...

sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) cause serious economic damage to wheat and barley in borujerd, north of lorestan province, iran. sweep net sampling, is the most convenient sampling procedure for many arthropods, but it is difficult to interpret in terms of accuracy and precision. much of the variation of sweep net catches, stems from human factors and its calibration. in this research, ...

in order to investigate diversity of weed species in wheat fields in eastern parts of mashhad, an investigation was made in the year 2009. wheat fields was classified based on the acreage from 3-5 ha, 5-10 ha and higher than 10 ha. sampling was made randomly by a quadrate 0.5×0.5 in 9 fields of each group from jointing to heading of wheat in tow separate stages. type and total number of weeds w...

this study was aimed to assess wheat-grown fields health in gharessoo basin, golestan province, iran, using 79 fields in 8 villages in 2010. the samples were taken by quadrates. the number and the type of weeds were recorded at genera and species levels. in parallel, management data were recorded by questionnaire. species richness was defined as species number and shannon-wiener index, simpson’...
