“…Qiu et al ( 2014 ) reported that a high K + application rate (186.7 kg K + ha −1 ) to maize reduced the grain growth and consequently reduced yields. Other authors reported positive effect in the plants (pea and sunflower) in yield, biomass and foliar area, but only at low rate (2.5 %) application of sugar beet vinasses (Algur and Kadioglu 1992 ). In addition, Poz-Gonzalo et al ( 2006 ) reported that some areas in Brazil, have shown serious problems with K + lixiviation, as a 2006 consequence of high vinasses irrigation rates in the last decade.…”

Vinasses are a residual liquid generated after the production of beverages, such as mezcal and tequila, from agave (Agave L.), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) or sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). These effluents have specific characteristics such as an acidic pH (from 3.9 to 5.1), a high chemical oxygen demand (50,000–95,000 mg L−1) and biological oxygen demand content (18,900–78,300 mg L−1), a high total solids content (79,000 and 37,500 mg L−1), high total volatile solids 79,000 and 82,222 mg L−1, and K+ (10–345 g L−1) content. Vinasses are most commonly discarded onto soil. Irrigation of soil with vinasses, however, may induce physical, chemical and biochemical changes and affect crop yields. Emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, might increase from soils irrigated with vinasses. An estimation of GHG emission from soil irrigated with vinasses is given and discussed in this review.

“…In addition, low beet vinasse concentrations (2.5% v/v) increased pea (Pisum sativum L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) shoot, root and leaf dry weight, whereas higher concentrations (i.e. 10, 25 and 50%) decreased the dry weight accumulation for both species (Algur and Kadioglu 1992). Therefore, vinasse potential positive effects on growth depend on application rate.…”

Vinasse and Biochar Effects on Germination and Growth of Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri), Sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia), and Southern Crabgrass (Digitaria ciliaris)

Vinasse and biochar are by-products of biofuel production that can be used as sources of nutrients to crops or soil amendments to improve soil quality. Despite the recent interest in biochar and vinasse effects on soil properties, little is known about their effect on weed communities. We hypothesized that the addition of biochar and vinasse to the soil could affect weed seed germination and growth, and that different weed species would show different responses to these soil amendments. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of vinasse and biochar on the germination and growth of Palmer amaranth, sicklepod, and southern crabgrass. The study was conducted under laboratory and growth chamber conditions. Treatments consisted of four levels of vinasse (0, 10, 20, and 40 L m−2) and biochar (0, 0.5, 2.5, and 12.5 kg m−2) applied to a sandy loam soil. Biochar at 0.5 and 2.5 kg m−2increased germination of Palmer amaranth but had no effect on sicklepod and southern crabgrass. Vinasse reduced germination of all species. However, sicklepod germination was less affected by vinasse at 10 and 20 L m−2than the other two species. Vinasse at 40 L m−2decreased Palmer amaranth, southern crabgrass and sicklepod germination 57, 26 and 87%, respectively. Biochar had no consistent effect on the vegetative growth of the species studied. Vinasse at 10 L m−2stimulated growth of sicklepod and southern crabgrass compared to the nontreated control. Our results suggested that vinasse used as a soil amendment could affect weed community structure by decreasing germination of susceptible species, but plants and weed species that can get established in vinasse amended soils might show higher growth rates.

“…These dilutions were chosen based on previous studies, which used similar dilutions of vinasse to analyze its effects on different organisms (Algur and Kadioglu, 1992;Kumar and Gopal, 2001).…”
