• A flexible and practical approach for real-time weed emergence prediction based on Artificial Neural Networks 

      Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben; Vigna, Mario Raul; Renzi Pugni, Juan Pablo; Blanco, Anibal Manuel (2018-06)
      Most popular emergence prediction models require species-specific population-based parameters to modulate thermal/hydrothermal accumulation. Such parameters are frequently unknown and difficult to estimate. Moreover, such ...
    • 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 ...
    • Towards an integrated weed management decision support system: A simulation model for weed-crop competition and control 

      Molinari, Franco A.; Blanco, Anibal Manuel; Vigna, Mario Raul; Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben (Elsevier, 2020)
      A mathematical simulation model for the multi-annual assessment of Integrated Weed Management strategies is presented. The model allows the simulation of the competitive interaction between annual weeds and crops. For weed ...
