IPSIM-Cirsium is a model that tests the effectiveness of different technical options for managing infestations of the Common thistle.


  • This model can be used for a wide range of soil-climate conditions and cropping systems. Nevertheless, its predictive quality has only been evaluated on a French dataset (Lacroix et al, 2021).

  • The information entered to produce your result is not retained.
