Finally, the `Agronomy´ database will provide information on field size, boundaries<br />

and obstacles, cropping history, drilling and harvest dates, expected yields,<br />

expected crop value, basic costs for operations such as soil tillage, fertilizing and<br />

spraying as well as values for the variable costs associated with each crop. Although<br />

default values are provided by the system in some cases, in other cases they should<br />

be filled by the user.<br />

Weed management in conventional wheat production relies heavily on herbicide<br />

use. Current year decision-making for herbicide use is a complex task requiring the<br />

integration of information on weed biology, expected crop yields and potential<br />

yield losses caused by different weeds, herbicide options, timing and efficacy of<br />

each herbicide, economic profitability of the treatment and environmental risks<br />

(Fig. 4). Agricultural growers and consultants can manage the integration of these<br />

complex factors by using decision support systems (DSS) (Parsons et al., 2009).<br />
