Weed emergence models are practical tools that aim to describe the dynamics of
emergence in the field. Such models can be conceptualized from two main perspectives: a …

Good weed management relies on the proper timing of weed control practices in relation to
weed emergence dynamics. Therefore, the development of models that predict the timing of …

Junglerice (Echinochloa colona) is one of the most important annual weeds affecting crops
