• Modeling Avena fatua seedling emergence dynamics: an artificial neural network approach 

      Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben; Blanco, Anibal Manuel; Lodovichi, Mariela Victoria; Bandoni, Jose Alberto; Sabbatini, Mario Ricardo; Lopez, Ricardo Luis; Vigna, Mario Raul; Gigon, Ramon (Elsevier, 2012-10)
      Avena fatua is an invasive weed of the semiarid region of Argentina. Seedling emergence patterns are very irregular along the season showing a great year-to-year variability mainly due to a highly unpredictable precipitation ...
    • Modeling seed dormancy release and germination for predicting Avena fatua L. field emergence: A genetic algorithm approach 

      Blanco, Anibal Manuel; Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben; Lodovichi, Mariela Victoria; Bandoni, Jose Alberto; Lopez, Ricardo Luis; Vigna, Mario Raul; Gigon, Ramon; Sabbatini, Mario Ricardo (2014-01-24)
      Avena fatua is a cosmopolite weed species which produces severe yield losses in small-grain production systems in temperate and semiarid climates. In the semiarid region of Argentina, A. fatua field emergence patterns show ...
    • Operational planning of herbicide-based weed management 

      Lodovichi, Mariela Victoria; Blanco, Anibal Manuel; Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben; Bandoni, Jose Alberto; Sabbatini, Mario Ricardo; Vigna, Mario Raul; Lopez, Ricardo Luis; Gigon, Ramon (2013-10)
      Weeds cause crop yield loss due to competition, interfere with agricultural activities and reduce grain quality due to seed contamination. Among the numerous methods for weed control, the use of herbicides is the most ...
