Subject: growing weeds in the summer fallow
i have a wheat, canola, wheat, lupin roation set up.
i want to grow weeds over the summer fallow if there is a 10 mm
rainfall event.
i want to let them grow for 14 days, then kill them (to simulate a
spray)
is it possible to do this?
is it possible for it to happen more than once in a fallow?
is it possible to do this after the harvest of the previous crop or
can the code only be written in before the sowing of the next crop
from january?

Of course you can do this, jan.

Use some management logic like
if (SummerFallowIn = 'yes' AND  weed.plant_status = 'out' AND rain >
10) then
  weed sow ...
endif
...
if (weed.das = 14) then
  weed end_crop
endif

You may have to fiddle a bit with the definition of a fallow - that
depends on how you've done the rotations.

Also, you will want to stop shortly before (2 weeks?) the crop sowing
window opens.

Yours,
pdev

peter
i have had a go with the management logic below.
it looks from the output file that i am growing weeds but they are not
being killed.

 if next_crop = wht_id then

!********weed growth in January
       if weed.plant_status = 'out' and day >= 1 and day <= 89 and rain
[1] >= 10 then
            weed sow plants = 5, sowing_depth =10, cultivar =
bsmillet, row_spacing = 25, crop_class = summer_grass
       endif

         if (weed.das = 14) then
            weed end_crop
         endif

!********sowing date 1st May to 15 May
       if wheat.plant_status = 'out' and day >= 121 and day <= 135 and
rain[3] >= 25 then
            wheat sow plants = 100, sowing_depth = 30, cultivar =
sunstate, row_spacing = 25, crop_class = plant
            fertiliser apply amount =  wsowing_applic (kg/ha), depth =
50 (mm), type = urea_N
            wN_at_sowing = wsowing_applic
       endif

      if wheat.plant_status = 'out' and day = 135 then
         wheat sow plants = 100, sowing_depth = 30, cultivar =
sunstate, row_spacing 25, crop_class = plant
         fertiliser apply amount = wsowing_applic (kg/ha), depth = 50
(mm), type = urea_N
         wN_at_sowing = wsowing_applic
     endif
endif

Ah. My apologies. "das" got changed to "DaysAfterSowing" a little
while ago. So your logic should look like

if (weed.DaysAfterSowing = 14) then
  weed end_crop
endif

Its strange that you're not seeing an error or warning from this.
Looks like a bug.

There is a very complete weed example in the "new simulations" folder:
"Continuous Maize and Weeds"
