Abstract
This article discusses the structure of weedreproduction incorporating the application of a mathematical model. Thismathematical methodology enables the construction, testing and applicationof distribution models for the analysis of the structure of weedreproduction and weed ecology. The mathematical model was applied, at theindividual level, to the weed species, Bromus sterilis. The application ofthis method, to the weed under competition, resulted in an analysis of theoverall reproduction structure of the weed which follows approximatelyGaussian distribution patterns and an analysis of the shoots in the weedplant which follow approximately Sigmoid distribution patterns. It was alsodiscovered that the application of the mathematical distribution models,when applied under specific conditions could, effectively estimate the seedproduction and total number of shoots in a weed plant. On the average, aweed plant has 3 shoots, with each shoot measuring 90cm in height and beingcomposed of 21 spikelets. Besides the estimations of the total shoots andseed production within the experimental field, one may also apply thesemathematical distribution models to estimate the germination rate of thespecies within the experimental field in following years.
