1 Biostimulant Research in Turfgrass: Fertilizer or Other? Erik H. Ervin, Ph.D. Professor, Turfgrass Culture & Physiology Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences Department; VIRGINIA TECH August 6, 2015: Denver
2 North America Biostimulant Coalition Definition, 2013 Substances (derived from natural or biological sources), including microorganisms, that are applied to plants, seeds, soil or other growing media that may enhance the plant s ability to assimilate applied nutrients or provide benefits to plant growth and development.
3 Schmidt and Ervin definition, 2002 A biostimulant is an organic material that, when applied in small quantities, enhances plant growth and development such that the response cannot be attributed to application of traditional plant nutrients
4 Ag biostimulant review paper, 4 types Calvo et al., Plant and Soil 383: ) Microbial inoculants 2) Humic & fulvic acids 3) Protein hydrolysates & amino acids 4) Seaweed extracts
5 Labels: Turf Biostimulants 100% Kelp Extract Assume 0.5% N label rate 6 oz/1000 ft 2 = 0.10 lb N/A Standard rates: 10 to 50 lb N/A
6 Labels: Turf Biostimulants A liquid fertilizer, with micronutrients (7% Fe), plus 22 million cfu/g of Bacillus spp. Humic acid, 3% Seaweed extract, 4.1% At label rate 0.22 lb N/A applied; 1.5 lb K 2 O/A
7 Labels: Turf Biostimulants Contains no humate, or seaweed extract

9 Reported Cytokinins and Auxin Contents in Seaweed Extracts (SWE) Author, year Cytokinins level, DW Method Tay, µg/l GC/MS Sanderson, µg/l GC/MS Tay, µg/l GC/MS Stirk, µg/l Plant bioassay Ervin, 2004, & 45 µg/l ELISA Ervin, µg/l LC/MS/MS Wally, µg/l LC/MS/MS Auxin (IAA) level Ervin, µg/l LC/MS/MS Wally, to 47 µg/l LC/MS/MS Cytokinins level found in bentgrass leaf tissue 5 to 60 ng/g FW* *Zhang and Ervin. 2004, 2008, Crop Science
10 Other compounds in SWE with biological activity Complex polysaccharides not present in plants Laminaran, fucoidan, alginate: shown to induce plant defense responses Betaines: natural plant dehydration avoiders Sterols: may play a role in freezing tolerance As reviewed in Calvo et al., Plant and Soil 383:3-41.
11 Scientific Consensus on SWE The chemical compositions of several seaweed extracts are known, and because they can maintain plant-promoting bioactivity at relatively low concentrations (<0.01% w/v) (Crouch van Staden, 1993), it is unlikely that the growth-promoting ability is due to nutrient composition alone (Wally, 2013). Similar statements in Blunden 1972, 1991 and Khan et al., Blunden, G Proc Int Seaweed Symp 7: Blunden, G Seaweed Resources in Europe: uses and potential, pp Crouch, I.J. and J. van Staden Plant Growth Regulation. 13: Khan W., et al., J Plant Growth Regulation 28: Wally, O.S.D., et al., J Plant Growth Regulation 32:

24 RESULTS (Zhang and Ervin Crop Sci. 50: ) The 2.8% (10 um=3.5 ppm CK) SWE and ZR solutions worked better than the weaker ones but the same as the 28% solutions The 200 and 1000 um solutions caused phytotoxicity The True Foliar program mix (= 2.1% SWE solution) was in top group

28 Seaweed Extract Summary Consistent results showing that low-rate foliar applications provide increased cytokinin leaf tissue levels that correlate closely with improved physiological adjustments to abiotic stress Effects not associated with mineral component of SWE Cytokinins most likely not solely responsible for improved plant function
29 Humic Substances From the decomposition (or humification) of carbon containing compounds (plant or animal) Nonhumic substances Are less stable in soil but may be bio-active: Polysaccharides, proteins/enzymes, organic acids (IAA) Source: Brady & Weil, Soil Science
30 Humic Substances defined Humic substances comprise 60-80% of soil OM and are the components of OM most resistant to microbial decomposition Classified into: Fulvic acid: smallest & soluble in acid & alkali Humic acid: medium & soluble in alkali Humin: largest, most persistent, dark, insoluble Sources Leonardite (mined soft coal, lignite): 30-80% HA, 150 CEC Peats: 5-25% HA, Biosolids/Compost: 3-15% HA
31 Liquid-applied Humic Substances At 0.05 to 0.10% HA concentrations have been shown to mimic auxin in promoting root growth. * Are non-humic components (saccharides, organic acids) the biologically active fraction? HA and FA also chelate Fe, Mg, Zn, Mn in exchangeable forms for more efficient root availability No soil moisture or structural effects predicted due to very low mass applied VT Research rate is 15 g leonardite/m = ~1.5 lb/a = 0.4% concentration applied in our trials *O Donnell, Soil Sci. 116(2):
32 Humic Acid has been shown to increase photosynthesis and root growth In a greenhouse experiment, Crenshaw bent was grown in solution culture supplied with non-limiting nutrients and 3 concentrations of HA. Photosynthesis and root growth was increased significantly from 1 to 4 weeks after treatment by HA at 400 ppm (0.0004%) VT foliar spray rate ~4000 ppm Liu, Cooper, Bowman HortScience 33:
33 Auxin coleoptile elongation bioassay Leonardite-HA assayed to have 198 ppb auxin activity or about 10 times the free auxin content found in plant tissues; in comparison HA extracted from compost only had 73 ppb auxin activity (Zhang and Ervin, unpublished data, 2004)
34 Auxin or Indole Acetic Acid Produced by plants and soil bacteria Promote cell division & stem elongation Induction of rooting In combination with cytokinins they regulate ratio of tillering to root initiation and growth IAA overproducing mutants of Arabidopsis are known as rooty and superroot Rogg & Bartel Developmental Cell. 1(5):595

38 SWE + HA Summary Humic acid consistently improves grass rooting Correlated with auxin activity; we have not directly studied question of improved macro or micro-nutrient efficiency Seaweed Extract consistently improves shoot responses to stress Correlated with cytokinin content, not mineral content Other bio-active compounds may play role in stress tolerance Both together give best grass stress response
