Prepare 10 sand paper cards (5 cm x 5 cm) per field and 10 predator exclusion cages with 1 cm squared metal net to avoid predation by mammals and birds. ? Glue 10 poppy seeds on each card and place each card within an exclusion cage. Data collection ? Collect data twice during the crop cycle, preferably in spring for winter cereals (avoiding drought periods). ? Define two transects in the monitored field. Place 5 seed cards with exclusion cage along each transect and nail them into the floor (day D). ? Remove them after 4 days of exposure to predators ? Count the remaining seeds on each card.}, url = {https://orgprints.org/id/eprint/31039/}, keywords = {arable farming, weed management, monitoring and evaluation} }
