Description
Summary:A model for investigation of the optimal economic life cycle of grass leys with winter damage problems in northern Norway and the threshold of winter damage before it is profitable to reseed grasses is presented. A 2-level hierarchic Markov process has been constructed using the MLHMP software. The model takes uncertainty concerning the yield potential, damage estimation and weather dependent random fluctuations into account. A Kalman filter technique is used for updating of knowledge on yield potential and damage level. 1.
