The study found that biochars can enhance soil's affinity for coumarin, increasing its persistence and, in some cases, improving bioefficacy.
BACKGROUND Allelochemicals can act as biopesticides or enhance the action of synthetic pesticides. In this work, we assessed the bioavailability of the allelochemical coumarin in soils amended with fresh or field-aged biochars (BCs). The fresh BC from oak wood (Fresh BC) was prepared at 550 degrees C and was buried for aging in two different places: in a sandy loam soil in Spain for 15 months (Aged BC_1) and a sandy loam soil in USA for six months (Aged BC_2). RESULTS Sorption experiments showed that all BCs were able to increase the affinity of soil towards coumarin, with the distribution coefficient following the order: unamended soil < Aged BC_2-amended soil < Aged BC_1-amended soil < Fresh BC-amended soil. All biochars ensure greater persistence of coumarin and the effect was more pronounced at high chemical dose (10 mg kg(-1)). Conversely, leaching studies in soil columns revealed that BCs were able to maintain coumarin within the first 5 cm of top-soil with total amount extracted ranging between 17% and 22% for BC-amended soil and <1% for unamended soil. Leaching was only observed when coumarin was added at the highest rate. Likewise, the bioefficacy of coumarin against lettuce was enhanced only at 10 kg ha(-1)with BC-amended soil. CONCLUSIONS Biochar application to agricultural soils is a promising tool for the management of natural compounds with potential use as biopesticides, such as coumarin, because it increases sorption, persistence and, in some cases, bioefficacy. The results reveal that this effect still persists with aging of BC in soils.
