Once you have created a WeedCast input file left click the
"View Output" button to display the emergence forecasts. This button is found on the main WeedCast page.
WeedCast output is displayed in a spreadsheet format. The first six rows consist of the input properties that were used to produce the forecasts: Site Name, Last Year's Crop, Tillage System, Soil Type, Soil Water Content, and the Original Weather File.
This is the tabular output window:
In short, it contains the raw data for the simulation run. Changeable fields are in yellow, while the other numbers have been calculated for the specific settings of the run.
Tip: WeedCast allows you to
change input data and then run the model directly from the tabular view. See
Edit Tabular Input Data
Row number eight contains the header information. The first five columns
in this row contain the weather data used for the emergence forecasts: Date,
Minimum Temperature, Maximum Temperature, Soil Temperature, and Rainfall.
Soil Temperature is a value that is calculated internally by
WeedCast.
Tip: Weather data and emergence
calculations can easily be updated from the Tabular Output View. See
Edit Tabular Weather Data
The following columns in row eight contain emergence information for
each of the selected weed species: Emergence
Potential, Emergence Timing and
Seedling Height.
At this time WeedCast is unable to calculate all three types of emergence calculations for every weed species. A "NA"will be placed in the data field for calculations that are not available. "MI" will be entered if there is missing input that is needed to complete the calculation. This generally occurs when the site properties are not completely filled in.
