Figure 1. Showing the number of seeds produced by weeds from each cohort (y axis), dependent on the evolved days to first flower (DFF) (x axis). The peak of each curve indicates the ideal DFF, with earlier cohorts taking longer to flower. (A) The standard farming system, before introduction of harvest weed seed control (HWSC). The range in ideal DFF across the different cohorts is approximately 15 d for Figure 1A. (B–D) How the various weed management systems affect the number of live seeds (avoiding HWSC) for weed management systems E (B), D (C), and P (D). In Figure 1B–D, the range in ideal DFF across the different cohorts is approximately 50 d.
