Abstract
This paper presents a spatio-temporal modelling framework for predicting the spread of herbicide resistance. It includes a model of the population dynamics of weeds growing in competition with crops, a polygenic model of the development of herbicide resistance, and gene transfer by means of pollen and seed movement. The framework is used to predict the long-term spread of resistant weeds given different integrated weed management choices combining tillage and herbicide treatments, and seed capture at harvest. The model’s predictions will be used to devise management options that minimise the spread of herbicide resistant weeds.
