A computer-simulation model (MELSIM) of a Meloidogyne-grapevine system is developed. The objective is to attempt a holistic approach to the study of nematode population dynamics by using experimental data from controlled environmental conditions. A simulator with predictive ability would be useful in considering pest management alternatives and in teaching. Rates of flow and interaction between the components of the system are governed by environmental conditions. Equations for these rates are determined by fitting curves to data from controlled environment studies. Development of the model and trial simulations have revealed deficiencies in understanding of the system and identified areas where further research is necessary.
开发了一个根结线虫-葡萄系统的计算机模拟模型（MELSIM）。目的是通过使用来自可控环境条件下的实验数据，尝试采用整体方法研究线虫种群动态。具有预测能力的模拟器在考虑害虫管理替代方案和教学方面将很有用。系统各组成部分之间的流动和相互作用速率受环境条件控制。这些速率的方程通过将曲线拟合到来自可控环境研究的数据来确定。模型的开发和试验模拟揭示了对该系统理解上的不足，并确定了需要进一步研究的领域。
