Bio-economic model on weed management in maize production

Abstract

The bio-economic model calculates optimal weed control strategies for cultivation of silage maize in North-Rhine-Westphalia and can be used to simulate agri-environmental policy scenarios such as a glyphosate ban. The model is described in detail in the following article: Böcker, T., Britz, W., Finger, R. (2017). Modelling the effects of a glyphosate ban on weed management in silage maize production.
