Effect of a biostimulant on bermudagrass fall color retention and spring green-up
[EN] Field research was conducted in 2017-2019 on "Princess 77" bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) to determine whether an amino acid based biostimulant program applied in the late season (October-November) and early season (March-April) could extend fall color retention (FCR) or hasten the spring green-up (SGU), respectively. Bermudagrass was treated with the biostimulant under five different managements: non-treated; 6 times at 5 L ha(-1) weekly; 3 times at 5 L ha(-1) in a 14-day interval; 6 times at 10 L ha(-1) weekly; and 3 times at 10 L ha(-1) in a 14-day interval. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and visual ratings (turf green color and percentage of green coverage in the subplot) were determined weekly, and turf clipping dry weight for the SGU studies. At the end of the FCR studies (2017 and 2018), there was no effect of the biostimulant; although, some isolated positive effects were detected during the experiment in 2017 on bermudagrass treated weekly at 10 L ha(-1) for NDVI. However, there was a slight positive effect on SGU when this physiological process occurred slowly (year 2018) and the biostimulant was applied weekly at 10 L ha(-1) (4.4 kg N ha(-1)), compared to another performed management and warmer years (2017 and 2019).De Luca, V.; Gómez De Barreda, D.

Comportamiento de herbicidas residuales en suelo posible contaminación de acuiferos
Se ha estudiado el comportamiento ambiental en los herbicidas terbutilazina, terbacil, molinato y tiobencarb. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la terbutilazina y el terbacil se absorben fuertemente en los primeros centímetros de perfil del suelo, sin que se aprecie una lixiviación significativa pese a su alta persistencia. La mejor forma de incorporar el herbicida terbutilazina fue mediante herbigación o sobre suelo previamente humedecido, habiendose observado una lata disipación de este producto en el momento de la aplicación. Los herbicidas molinato, debido a su alta presión de vapor, se volatiliza facilmente y el tiobencarb es fuertemente fijado al suelo. Se ha utilizado dos modelos matemáticos de simulación del comportamiento y distribución de los plaguicidas en el suelo. VARLEACH y LEACHP, con el fin de evaluar su validez en la predicción del comportamiento y distribución en el suelo de la terbiutilazina y el terbacil. Ambos modelos se comportaron de forma similar, dando aceptables predicciones de la cantidad de residuos en el perfil, al compararlos con datos observados en el campo, sobre todo en el caso de terbacil. Pero esto solo ocurrió cuando los herbicidas presentaban altos coeficientes de absorción, ya que con bajos coeficientes, la distinta forma que tiene ambos modelos de simular el flujo de agua a través del suelo influye en el transporte y distribución de solutos en el perfil del suelo. Tanto por su sencillez como por las características del manejo del agua y climáticas de la Comunidad Valenciana se recomienda el uso del modelo VARLEACH.Gómez De Barreda Ferraz, D. (1999).

Effect of Nitrogen-fixing Microorganisms and Amino Acid-based Biostimulants on Perennial Ryegrass
[EN] Due to restrictions on pesticide and nitrogen use in high-input European agricultural systems, many of the biostimulants used in horticulture are being incorporated into turfgrass management programs-although often with little understanding. A set of experiments was carried out on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) cultivated in pots in a greenhouse in 2013 and 2014 to test the effect of three biostimulants: two composed of nitrifying bacteria (B1 and B2), and the other a mixture of amino acids, polysaccharides, nitrogen, and micronutrients (B3). Apart from the biostimulant treatment, nutritional stress was incorporated into the study to demonstrate if biostimulants could temporarily replace the fertilization role and so lessen the environmental impact. Turfgrass treated with B1 resulted in an increase in quality compared with untreated turf, and the positive effect lasted 2 and 3 months in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, an extended benefit was observed when the B1 interval application was longer, even temporarily replacing fertilization when applied on stressed turfgrass. The B2 produced similar results to B1, the effect was longer, and the turf exhibited a darker color-although it caused phytotoxicity at the tip of the leaves. The B3 led to a beneficial effect on turfgrass, especially under nutritional stress; it showed a better quality, darker green color, and more growth and yield than untreated turf (despite adding less nitrogen than during either mineral fertilizer treatment). Overall results show that the tested biostimulants increase turfgrass quality even when inducing a nutritional stress.De Luca, V.; Gómez De Barreda, D.; Lidón, A.; Lull Noguera, C. (2020).

Rice Straw Mulch Installation in a Vineyard Improves Weed Control and Modifies Soil Characteristics
[EN] After harvesting rice paddy fields, rice straw is a significant problem due to uncontrolled CO2 emissions when the straw is burned. One solution to this problem is to use this rice by-product for mulching planting lines of fruit trees or vineyards with the purpose of controlling weeds and improving soil characteristics. A 3-year experiment was conducted at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) demonstration vineyard, where rice-straw mulch was installed at three rates in 2021, 24.0, 43.1, and 63.1 t ha¿1, and in 2022, 25.0, 37.5, and 50.0 t ha¿1. Weeds were mainly controlled with the highest treatment rate (50.0¿63.1 t ha¿1), as the time of the year for mulch installation is decisive for achieving different weed control rates. On average, mulch decreased soil bulk density (5.4%), and increased the soil organic carbon (24.3%) and water-soluble organic carbon (24.3%) compared to bare soil. Soil temperature changes were observed due to the mulch treatment, with soil temperature lower in bare soil than in mulched soil during the cold season, and higher during the warm season. This effect was highly dependent on the mulch application rate. Soil moisture content was also higher under the mulch treatment, showing a mulch-rate response during the four seasons of the year. The changes in the physical and biological soil properties induced a higher soil respiration rate when mulched soil was compared to bare soil. This study concludes that the use of rice straw as a mulch had positive effects on weed control and soil properties, although three factors concerning mulch management were paramount: rate, the timing of installation, and replacement rate.This research was funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades and the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, grant number RTC-2017-6249-2 titled ¿Desarrollo de un nuevo insumo para la agricultura sostenible: mulch de paja de arroz con incorporación de bacterias promotoras del crecimiento de las plantas (PGPB) y mecanización integral de procesos (SMART MULCH)¿.Gómez De Barreda, D.; Bautista, I.; Castell-Zeising, V.; Lidón, A.

Forma de reducir daños causados por errores en las aplicaciones de herbicidas de postemergencia en los agrios
A veces se producen aplicaciones directas a la parte
aérea de los cítricos, por defectos en los tratamientos. En el presente
trabajo se pretenden extraer consecuencias del grado de
fitotoxicidad alcanzado, en una aplicación deliberadamente mal

pulverización de agua, a diversos tiempos. Los productos implicados
son unas formulaciones comerciales de glifosato, glifosato +MCPA,
glufosinato, fluroxipir, oxifluorfen y paraquat + diquat. Los
herbicidas de contacto han producido daños muy evidentes en la
primera evaluación (3 días después del tratamiento:3ddt) pero en el
caso del Gramoxone plus, se reducen en la última evaluación (240
ddt). Los productos Fusta, MCPA y Roundup responden a la
aplicación con agua, si se hace próxima al tratamiento. El Goal es el
