Objectives
- Integration of the long-term control measures developed in WG 1 and 2 with available short-term management measures
- Coordinate and promote experimental research on the optimal combination of management schemes
- Mechanistic modelling of ragweed population dynamics, with particular emphasis on the soil seed bank
Expected deliverables
- Recommendations for experimental assessment of integrated Ambrosia management measures, depending on region, habitat (including cropping systems) and stage of invasion
- Develop Ambrosia population models for different habitats to evaluate and model impact of management measures at the local scale
- Protocol for the quick but reliable determination of ragweed in the soil seed bank
- Scientific publications on the combined use of biological, chemical and bio-preventive weed control measures, and stakeholder report on options for combinations of region and habitat-specific management measures
