Ryegrass Integrated Management (RIM)–Based Decision Support System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision Support Systems for Weed Management

Abstract

RIM, or “Ryegrass Integrated Management”, is a model-based decision support system (DSS) for weed management that aims to deliver key recommendations to manage herbicide resistance (HR). Its success as a DSS for HR management is proven by the various adaptations of RIM to a range of weed species and/or cropping systems: Multispecies RIM for Lolium rigidum and Raphanus raphanistrum in Australia, Wild Radish RIM for Raphanus raphanistrum in Australia, PIM for Papaver rhoeas in Spain, RIMPhil for Echinochloa crus-galli in the Philippines, BYGUM for Echinochloa colona in Australia, PAM for Amaranthus palmeri in the USA, Brome RIM for Bromus spp. in Australia, Barley Grass RIM for Hordeum glaucum in Australia, SA-RIM for Lolium rigidum in South Africa and DK-RIM for Lolium multiflorum in Denmark. This chapter will describe the rationale, structure and strengths of these RIM-based DSS to manage HR.
