Establishment of Integrated Control Systems1

The integration of special measures into a system requires the evaluation of their absolute and relative importance. Processes have to be known and ways of their mathematical simulation are necessary. The very first steps have been done in this direction in weed science. One of the key factors for such simulations is the population dynamics of weeds and within this the dynamics of reproduction and survival is of special importance. Integrated control systems can be established. They could be much improved with a better understanding of the key factors and the interrelationships involved.
