Luisa Baccin

Luisa Baccin is affiliated with the Department of Horticulture at Oregon State University, focusing on agricultural science and weed management. Her research emphasizes herbicide resistance mechanisms, crop-weed interactions, and sustainable agricultural practices. She has contributed to studies on glyphosate-resistant weeds, sugarcane cultivation, and chemical management strategies for invasive species.

Her work spans topics such as electrical weed control in organic blueberries, pre-sprouted sugarcane seedling physiology, and the use of sponge wipers for targeted herbicide application in hops. Recent studies include investigations into trichome morphology in glyphosate-resistant Conyza and the selectivity of herbicides in linseed and maize systems.

Baccin collaborates on interdisciplinary projects addressing crop protection, integrated pest management, and agronomic toxicology. Her research often integrates field experiments with molecular biology techniques to understand resistance development and crop-weed competition dynamics.
