ReMIX modelling workshop

ReMIX modelling workshop

From 18 to 20 September, a ReMIX modelling workshop was held in Wageningen, the Netherlands.

Participants involved in modelling mixed-species systems joined at Wageningen University to update each other on modelling methodologies and their possibilities, as well as to determine modelling strategies for the tasks within ReMIX. A number of different modelling approaches will be used in ReMIX, covering aspects such as pest and disease control, crop-weed interaction, plant competition as well as ecosystem services provided by species mixtures. These modeling approaches will allow to identify species key traits for improving the performance of species mixtures through above- and belowground competition, weed management, and pest control, as well as to help developing novel breeding material and optimizing agronomic techniques.
