Abstract/Contents: | "Impacts of Surfactants on Soil and Plant Health A study was conducted in Las Cruces, NM, to investigate the effects of soil surfactants on soil health parameters and turfgrass quality under deficit irrigation. Four surfactants were applied on Princess 77 bermudagrass in a split block arrangement and included i) a modified methyl capped block co-polymer (Revolution); ii) an alkyl polyglycoside (Dispatch); iii) saponine, a natural wetting agent derived from Yucca schidigera (Therm X-70); iv) a rhamnolipid biosurfactant (ZONIX); and v) an untreated control. Plots were irrigated at either 75% or 45% evapotranspiration replacement level. Soil measurements were conducted at the beginning of the trial and at the end of the growing season. All samples were collected at 0-0.15 m soil depth. Soil biological measurements assessed included the total microbial biomass (TMB) and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi biomass (AMF). Physical and chemical measurements included the available water capacity (AWC), soil penetration resistance and soil water infiltration. Turfgrass quality and other plant health parameters were collected at one and three weeks after treatment application, then subsequently every month. First year results showed a significant effect of surfactants on TMB, AMF, and AWC, with the surfactant Revolution resulting in significantly higher levels than the other treatments. Irrigation treatments did not have an impact on the measured soil indicators. Plots treated with Dispatch and Therm X-70 rated significantly higher in visual quality than the control, but did not differ from plots treated with Revolution and Zonix. Longer term testing is needed to evaluate the directional changes of soil indicator measurements and plant quality parameters." |
