Abstract: Models quantifying the effects of cropping systems on weed life-cycles, in interaction with environmental conditions, are invaluable tools to evaluate and design integrated cropping systems. In the past, we have developed such a model called AlomySys for a single grass weed species. The objective of the present paper was to extend the monospecific emergence model to a multi-specific weed flora, by removing a few non-generic processes (e.g. maternal effects on dormancy and germination) and by adapting the germination sub-model to a larger diversity of species.
