Comprehensive list of equations relating state variables describing life-stages of Phelipanche ramosa in PheraSys.
Eq. | When | Process | Equation | Explication |
---|---|---|---|---|
[1] | During tillage | Seed movements | [SB’fd] = [stsfi].[SBid] | SB = viable seeds/m2 |
stsfi = proportion of seeds moved during tillage from layer i to layer f in case of soil structure s | ||||
[2] | Daily, ∀l | Seed mortality | If χld > χbase α = 0.0025 | α = daily seed mortality rate |
Else α = 0.0005 | χld = soil water potential | |||
χbase = base water potential of P. ramosa = - 2 MPa | ||||
[3] | Daily, ∀l | Seed mortality | SB’ld = (1 - α) SBld | |
[4] | Daily, ∀l | Pre-conditioning | If χld∊[- 2, - 0.02 MPa] and θld∊[10,25 °C] ndp++ | ndp = number of days the seeds spent in conditions favouring pre-conditioning |
[5] | Daily, ∀l | Pre-conditioning | If ndp < ndpmax βld = ndp/ndpmax | βld = proportion of pre-conditioned seeds |
If ndp∊[21,100 days] βld = 1 | ||||
If ndp > 100 βld = 0 | ||||
[6] | Daily, ∀l | Pre-conditioning | PSld = βld.SBld | PSld = preconditioned seeds/m2 |
[7] | End of crop susceptibility period, ∀l | Germination |
![]() |
χl = proportion of germinated seeds dmax = maximum stimulation distance from host root = 0.5 mm rdh, Nde, Rlde = root diameter, plant density and cumulated root length of host species h |
[8] | End of crop susceptibility period, ∀l | Germination | Gl = χl PSld SB’ld = SBld − Gl | Gl= germinated seeds/m2 |
[9] | End of crop susceptibility period | Fixation |
![]() |
F = number of fixations/m2 |
[10] | End of crop susceptibility period | Emergence |
![]() |
pE = probability that a fixed parasite emerges |
δ h = maximum number of parasite fixations per plant of host species h | ||||
[11] | End of crop susceptibility period | Emergence |
![]() |
P = parasite plants/m2 |
[12] | Crop harvest | Seed production |
![]() |
εh = parasite biomass per plant (g) on host species h |
[13] | Crop harvest | Seed production | S = P·εh·ϕ | ϕ = viable parasite seeds per g biomass = 19,000 |
[14] | Crop harvest | Seed rain | SB’0d = SB0d + S |
l = soil layer (from 0 to 29), d = current day, s = soil structure class (fine earth, intermediate, compacted), h = host species, whether crop or weed. Variable names are explained at their first occurrence. A variable name V’ refers to variable V after the application of a process (ex. seed movements).
