• A practical guide to estimating the light extinction coefficient with nonlinear models—a case study on maize 

      Lacasa, Josefina; Hefley, Trevor J.; Otegui, María Elena; Ciampitti, Ignacio A. (Springer Nature, 2021-06-12)
      The fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (fPARi) is typically described with a non-linear function of leaf area index (LAI) and k, the light extinction coefficient. The parameter k is used to make ...
    • Breeding effects on canopy light attenuation in maize: a retrospective and prospective analysis 

      Lacasa, Josefina; Ciampitti, Ignacio A.; Amas, Juan Ignacio; Curín, Facundo; Luque, Sergio F.; Otegui, María Elena (Oxford University Press, 2022-03)
      The light attenuation process within a plant canopy defines energy capture and vertical distribution of light and nitrogen (N). The vertical light distribution can be quantitatively described with the extinction coefficient ...
    • Maize genetic progress in the central Pampas of Argentina: effects of contrasting sowing dates 

      Amas, Juan Ignacio; Fernandez, Javier A.; Curin, Facundo; Cirilo, Alfredo Gabriel; Ciampitti, Ignacio A.; Otegui, María Elena (Elsevier, 2022-05)
      Delayed sowing date of maize (Zea mays L.) has become a broadly adopted practice in the Pampas region of Argentina, because late-sown crops frequently experience a more favorable water balance around flowering and a reduction ...
    • Sulfur fertilization technology in the Argentine Pampas region : a review 

      Torres Duggan, Martín; Melgar, Ricardo Jose; Rodríguez, Monica Beatriz; Lavado, Raul Silvio; Ciampitti, Ignacio A. (Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2012-05)
      Sulfur (S) deficiencies in grain crops have become increasingly frequent worldwide, including the Argentine Pampas region, located in South America. The objective of this work is to review recent research literature regarding ...
