EDYPRO<\/strong> participated, on August 27, in the XXVI Field Day on Rice Cultivation.<\/strong> This year's meeting focused on analyzing new techniques aimed at the continuous improvement of rice cultivation. This is a particularly relevant aspect for our production system, one that can help us overcome the current situation, which involves factors such as biodiversity, the environment, and food security.<\/p>\n

During the month of November, videos summarizing the presentations that took place throughout the day were published, and through this post, we want to bring you the highlights of the most relevant ones.<\/p>\n

Oriol Ferr\u00e9, from IRTA Amposta,<\/strong> He explained a trial on new rice varieties in the registration phase. The objective is to evaluate the agronomic performance of these new rice varieties under the growing conditions of the Ebro Delta.<\/p>\n

As Ferr\u00e9 explained, developing and registering a variety is a very expensive process that can take up to 8 or 10 years. These new varieties are developed for their special characteristics or their production potential.<\/p>\n

The phases a new variety goes through until it is registered are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Obtaining the variety<\/li>\n
  2. Varietal identification (2 years) in a laboratory<\/li>\n
  3. Field phase (the current phase of this trial): trials in different growing areas. Specifically, in the Delta, Extremadura, and Andalusia.<\/li>\n
  4. Registration in the European Union requires meeting certain criteria. European registration means that all member states can use and work with this variety.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this trial, no fungicide treatment has been applied because the researchers want to observe how the new varieties behave in the presence of these diseases. Additionally, the station's technicians are monitoring and evaluating plant density (number of plants per square meter), heading, panicle density, plant height, grain yield, biometrics, and other factors.<\/p>\n

    With this data, a report is compiled, and in February all the trial areas share their results, at which point it is decided which varieties will be registered. The main criterion is that the varieties in the registration phase must either outperform the reference varieties in terms of yield or possess some special characteristic. For example, the varieties registered last year had greater disease tolerance.<\/p>\n

    Maite Mart\u00ednez, from IRTA Sant Carles de la R\u00e0pita,<\/strong> Her presentation focused on describing the project. Carbocert.<\/em> This is an ambitious plan to study and promote agricultural practices that maximize carbon sequestration from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

    This mechanism is of great importance in the fight against climate change, since carbon is the cause of the greenhouse effect. In Spain, 531% of the land is agricultural, so the widespread adoption of this technique in agriculture would bring significant environmental benefits.<\/p>\n

    The project involves extracting carbon from the atmosphere and storing it stably in the soil or within the plant structure; the greater the quantity and the longer the storage period, the better. The trial is being conducted on the most common crops in our country: olives, grapes, almonds, citrus fruits, rice, and wheat. The results conclude that, in addition to being a fantastic tool for mitigating climate change, it provides significant agronomic benefits, such as improving the amount of organic matter in the soil, thus increasing fertility.<\/p>\n

    Gemma Murillo, from the Fertilization Office,<\/strong> He presented the conclusions of a trial on organic fertilization in dryland sowing. The comparison was made between mineral fertilization, organic fertilization using slurry and chicken manure, and an unfertilized control. The results show that fertilization is essential, as otherwise only half the yield is obtained, and that the mineral treatment yields the highest production. Regarding organic fertilization, the results with chicken manure and slurry vary over the years depending on the recorded weather conditions.<\/p>\n

    For their part, Mar\u00eda del Mar Catal\u00e0, from IRTA Amposta,<\/strong> In his presentations, he addressed disease management and control in organic and zero-waste production. Catal\u00e0 pointed out that, in both cases, the best strategy is to use a good variety that is genetically resistant to disease and to implement sound agronomic management.<\/p>\n

    Finally, we would like to highlight the presentation by Nestor Perez<\/strong> who explained the project Promoting biodiversity<\/em>, Integrated into Kellogg's Origins program, the plan aims to promote agricultural practices that are more respectful of nature and biodiversity, responding to consumer demands for more sustainable products grown according to these principles. The trial presented focused on promoting green margins in rice fields, which are typically treated with herbicides and left bare. The study concludes that maintaining these natural margins has significant agronomic advantages: it increases protection against pests, which take refuge there instead of in the crop; it improves weed resistance; and it creates a root system that prevents soil erosion and stops the invasive red swamp crayfish from building burrows beneath the fields.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
