| Popis: | Soil solarisation uses solar heating for management of soilborne pests including weed seeds. Because soil temperatures under solarisation fluctuate diurnally, models predicting weed seed inactivation as a function of time and fluctuating temperatures are needed to provide accurate treatment guidelines. Inactivation times for Brassica nigra (black mustard) seeds in moist sand were determined at constant temperatures of 42, 46, 50, and 54 °C. Logistic and Weibull models predicting inactivation at each constant temperature were developed with nonlinear regression. The Weibull model was combined with the Arrhenius equation to incorporate temperature dependence, and nonlinear regression was repeated across temperatures to develop a combined Weibull–Arrhenius model. Four validation trials were conducted, using diurnally-fluctuating temperature regimens, to evaluate accuracy of the Weibull–Arrhenius model to predict inactivation with fluctuating temperatures. Seeds reached complete mortality by 3 h at 54 °C, 16 h at 50 °C, 72 h at 46 °C, and 240 h at 42 °C. At 42, 46 and 50 °C, logistic and Weibull models predicted similar times to mortality. Across temperatures, the Weibull shape parameter estimate was 1.03 at 95% CI, indicating sufficiency of first order models to describe B. nigra seed inactivation. The Weibull–Arrhenius model accurately predicted mortality under fluctuating diurnal temperatures, varying ( P |
