Simulation of control strategies for decision-making regarding Digitaria sanguinalis in glyphosate-resistant soybeans

A bioeconomic model was developed for decision-making regarding large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) control in glyphosate-resistant soybeans in the Rolling Pampas ofArgentina. The model was used to evaluate the economic returns of four different glyphosate-based strategies for weed control. In t...
