2. Protocol for initial characterization of demonstration plots

In this document, the characterization of the areas proposed for planting is analyzed using previous data: current management practices and historical land uses, area risks, geographical location (region, climatic zone and altitude), topography, soil, hydrology, vegetation and fauna In addition, specific logistical and planting maintenance needs are evaluated to facilitate the planting process and anticipate potential difficulties.

In the initial characterization of the plots, the descriptive sheets (ANNEX I and II) corresponding to both types of plots will be filled: rootstock plots (C1) and adaptation plots (C3).

These descriptive files will generally include the identification data of the plot, the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of the soil, type of irrigation, the climatic data from the nearest weather station, as well as the background of the plot. In the adaptation plots case (C3) foliar analysis will be included.

Below are showing the use, sampling methodology and interpretation of results for the analysis of characterization:

1. - PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SOIL

Soil analysis is a usual practice, widely accepted as informative and as an essential part of any appropriate management program. This analysis provides an estimate of soil fertility due to this small sample is a representative sample of the entire soil is analyzed. Therefore it is necessary, given the impossibility of sampling the entire study area, it is essential to achieve representative sampling. Representativeness can be defined as the level to which the samples accurately represent a characteristic of a population, parameter variation at a sampling point or an environmental condition..

The fertility of a soil is related to the availability of mineral nutrients for plants. This depends on a complex balance of macro and mineral micro elements essential for plants. The three most important are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). If these macroelements are at adequate levels available in the soil, the rest of the nutrients will generally be at adequate levels.

On the other hand, it must be considered that soil fertility is not constant in space and time. Thus, when a soil analysis is performed, in addition to global fertility, other factors such as depth and sampling time have a great effect on the result of the evaluation.

1.1.- Uses

The importance of soil fertility analysis is in productive terms in the utility that the analysis will provide to the husbandman, some of these utilities are:

• Evaluation of the nutrient availability of the soil. • Base appropriate fertilization programs. • Cost minimization in the application of the determined fertilizer doses. • Maximization of utilities: do not limit or exceed the necessary nutrients for the plant. • Keep water sources in good condition: do not contaminate them with exaggerated doses that generate leaching and water contamination.

1.2. Sampling

Each plot will be divided into different sampling units based on soil heterogeneity (color, soil drainage, slope...) and plantation (productivity, growth...).

From each sampling unit we will take a sample of the surface layer (soil: 0-30 cm depth) and another of the immediately lower layer (subsoil: 30-60 cm depth). Each of these samples will be composed of several subsamples, between 10 to 15 subsamples being recommended, which will be taken randomly. Each sample will weigh approximately 1kg.

The soil extraction will be carried out with an auger in a wet bulb area. Each extracted subsample will be collected in a plastic bag, removing any foreign objects (stones, roots ...), where they will be mixed, and the necessary sample will be taken (approximately 1 kg).

Soil samples will be taken preferably after harvest and never after applying a fertilizer or amendment.

1.4. - Results interpretation

Soil analysis is an indispensable element to know the physical and chemical characteristics that affect the nutrition of the plantation. The physical conditions of the soil, and particularly the texture, inform us of important aspects related to the mobility of water and the dynamics of the fertilizing elements.

The chemical analysis indicates the nutrient richness of the soil and gives us an approximation of the elements that are assimilated by the plant. The soil analysis also informs us of those characteristics that are unfavorable or limiting for the development of the crop. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 show the levels of the main components of the soil, related to citrus nutrition (Legaz et al., 1995). CO3 a

1.5.- Characterization of the ideal soil in citrus cultivation

Citrus crop are not a very demanding in soils. The characteristics that an ideal soil must present are:

● Deep soils to facilitate root development that guarantees a good anchorage of the tree, extensive exploration to ensure good nutrition, and adequate growth. ● Good aeration, with a balanced proportion of thick and fine elements (texture), which is not excessively clayey. Clay soils give lower fruit quality than sandy soils: thicker skin, less juice and less sweet. ● 1 - 1.5 m depth of land. ● Preferably permeable soils. Too much water causes Gomosis disease (cracking of the cortex at the neck level), rot and root asphyxiation. ● They tolerate a wide range of soils, but thrive in those fertile, well drained and slightly acidic (pH 6-6.5). ● Normal values in a chemical analysis of the soil for citrus cultivation:

2.- SOIL MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Soil microorganisms contribute to the maintenance of chemical, physical and biological soil fertility. They transform inorganic nutrients, which otherwise can not be absorbed by the plant; they also favor decomposition and mineralization of organic material. Life in soil is made up of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, virus and seaweeds; and macro-organisms that include vertebrates and invertebrates. This last group includes arthropods from acarus to large beetles, millipedes, termites and earthworms, among others.

2.1.- Parameters to be determinate

The indicators to be determined in laboratories will be:

● Microorganism count cfu/g*)

*cfu/g: Colony forming units of bacteria per gram of soil.

◦ Bacteria. Bacteria break down easy-to-use substrates, simple carbon compounds such as radical exudates and fresh plant residues. Waste produced by bacteria becomes organic material. Some microorganisms can break down pesticides and pollutants in the soil. They are especially important in the immobilization and retention of nutrients in their cells and, therefore, prevent the loss of nutrients from the root zone. Mesophilic Bacteria, Thermophilic Bacteria and Nitrogen Transforming Bacteria will be determined in the laboratory.

◦ Fungus. They break down the most resistant organic material, retaining in soil the nutrients obtained in the form of fungus biomass and CO2 release. First, the less resistant material is broken down while the more resistant material, such as lignin and proteins, breaks down into various stages. Many of the secondary waste products are organic acids; therefore, fungus help increase the accumulation of organic material rich in humic acids, resistant to further degradation. There are those of free life and others like mycorrhizae that live in symbiotic form in the roots of plants. In addition to beneficial fungus, there are also phytopathogens. Therefore, the indicators to be determined in laboratory will be Molds and Phytophthora spp.

◦ Nematodes. These organisms not only weaken plants and decrease yields by their direct action on the roots, they also act in etiological complexes that involve fungi, bacteria and virus. When there are nematodes that feed on bacteria and fungus, nitrogen is released as (NH4+ ), nitrogen that is available for the growth of plants and other soil organisms.

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

● Number of earthworms. They promote microbiological activity by means of fragmentation of the organic material and the increase in the area accessible to fungus and bacteria. Into the bargain, they stimulate extensive root growth in the subsoil due to the greater availability of nitrogen in the tunnels and the easy penetration of the roots through existing channels.

2.2.- Sampling

A soil sample will be taken from each of the sample units determined for the physical-chemical analysis. For each sample we will use a cube and we will be taking subsamples (between 10 and 15) of wet bulbs next to those used for the physical-chemical analysis, making sure that they contain enough secondary roots.In each subsample we will take the first 20 cm of the soil, being necessary for the final sample between 0.5 and 1 kg of soil.

Each final sample will be introduced in a well identified plastic bag, indicating: type of sample (microbiological), code assigned to the sample unit, date of sample collection, plot to evaluate and assay.

In this sample determine the percentage of organic material (%) and counting bacteria (Mesophilic bacteria, thermophilic bacteria and nitrogen transforming bacteria.), Molds, Phytophthora spp. (cfu) and Nematodes.

To determine the number of earthworms we will make a square on the ground of dimensions 25 x 25 x 10 (side x side x depth) and the number of individuals present in the area of extracted land will be quantifie.

The soil microbiological analyzes of the demonstration plots are included in the Midterm Report as Annex 11: Microbiological analysis

2.3.- Results analysis

Healthy soil increases production, profitability and protects natural resources (air and water). To determine if a soil is healthy, its physical, chemical and biological characteristics must be evaluated.

*Healthy soils have a sweet and pleasant smell of earth, while an unhealthy soil has a sour or metallic smell.

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

3.- LEAF ANALYSIS

Leaf analysis is currently considered as an essential action for determining the nutritional status of the plantation, an indispensable reference for determining the manure needs of citrus plantations.

The correct use of this practice requires the taking of leaf samples, representative of plantation, and the correct interpretation of parameters analyzed.

3.1.- Sampling

In each of the plots we will take a number of samples depending on soil and trees heterogeneity. So each plot will be divided into homogeneous subplots in terms of texture, fertility, color, soil depth ..., as well as graft / rootstock combination, age, production ...

A sample of 100 to 200 leaves will be taken from each of these subplots, selecting as many trees (25- 50) as necessary, taking from each tree four leaves, one for each orientation. These trees can be taken randomly among the whole of trees, making sure that they are sufficiently distributed and not concentrated in a certain area. These must be representative of plantation.

Spring leaves´ terminals and vegetatives buds (which have not got any fruit and will not developed other buds) will be taken in November. These buds will be selected to the half-height of the tree and oriented to the four cardinal points. Of each bud will be take second and/or third leave starting at the end.

3.2.- Parameters to be determinate:

• Macro nutrients (%): N, P, K, Ca, Mg y S

• Micro nutrients (ppm): Fe, Zn , Mn, B, Cu y Mo

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

3.3.- Results analysis

Leaf analysis interpretation is performed compare to the results obtained with previously standard leaf values established for each element (tables 8, 9 and 10; Legaz et al., 1995).

The levels considered as deficient (very low) indicate that the element does not reach in the abb sufficient concentration for the normal development of the physiological functions or metabolic processes in which it is involved. Low levels indicate that the plant is not absorbing the nutrient element satisfactorily and, although not necessarily there must be significant alterations in the vegetative development and productivity, it is convenient to pay attention to nutrition with this element to not reach the deficit state.

3. Results

The project will be implemented in 4 different countries, Spain (6 areas), Italy (1 area), France (1 area) and Portugal (1 area).

3.1 . Spain

In Spain there are six different areas: Malaga (Andalusia), Polinyà de Xúquer (Valencia), Alcalá del Río (Sevilla), Llíria (Valencia), Aljaraque () and Güímar (Tenerife)

3.1.1 Málaga

ASAJA Málaga The demonstration trials are in the region of River Guadalhorce, the most important citrus area of the province of Malaga. The soils of the Guadalhorce have been formed by marls, clays, sandstones, sands and conglomerates. The soil depth is generally greater than 75 cm. The texture of soils is, in general, heavy, which can cause drainage difficulties, for this reason appropriate cultural practices are used for an efficient use of water. The stoniness and rockiness is generally low. In the area there are specific problems of salinity due to saline water resources. There is a moderate to high erosion risk in the area, mainly in areas with steepest slopes.

The lease contracts for the Malaga plots are included signed in Annex 8 of the Midterm Report with the name:

3.1.4 Llíria The demonstration trials are located in the main Citrus production area in Spain: Valencia. The soil depth is generally greater than 1 m. The texture of soils is, in general, loam or clay loam. The most important feature of the soil is its content of limestone, and high pH. This feature is also show by the irrigation water. The weather use to be soft with no more tan 5 nights under 0oC during the winter, and excepcionally over 40º C during the summer. Even though the farm is inlads, and that is why the harvest time use to come 2 or 3 weeks later than other near production areas.

The demonstration trial will be located in Gibraleón (Huelva), at the south west of Spain. This production area was mainly developed during the last quarter of the XX century, so the plantations uses to be modern and bigger than other Citrus production areas in Spain. The soil depth is generally greater than 1 m. The texture of soils in our farm is sandy or loam Sandy, wich is usual near to the coast where the majority of the Citrus farms are located. The soil pH is lightly acid, wich is also shown by the irrigation water. Other feature of the water is its low salinity. The weather use to be soft with very few nights under 0oC during the winter, and warm during summer, being usual temperatures over 40º C.

3.1.6 Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are an archipelago of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also one of the outermost regions of the European Union. It consists of seven main islands: El Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife, which form the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, which make up the province of Las Palmas.

The archipelago is located in North Africa, near the coasts of southern Morocco and the Sahara, between coordinates 27º 37 'and 29º 25' north latitude and 13º 20 'and 18º 10' west longitude. The islands, of volcanic origin, are part of the natural region of Macaronesia, with high biodiversity, along with the archipelagos of Cape Verde, Azores, Madeira and Salvajes. The Canary Islands have 301.237 ha of protected natural areas (146, including 4 national parks) [40%]. The seven islands and islets are of volcanic origin with subtropical climate.

Total area: 7.446 km² Maritime area: 100.000 km²

Figure 1. Geographical situation and distribution area of the Canary archipelago

Agricultural production in the Canary Islands occupies 41472.6 ha, mainly dedicated to bananas (9111 ha). Citrus crops: 1453.5 ha, distributed mainly in Gran Canaria (865.2 ha) and Tenerife (405.6 ha). In general, the following conditions are met for the production areas:

72

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

 Water consumption: depending on the climatic characteristics of the region, 7,500-12,000 m3 of water / ha for adult trees.  Current methods: conventional management: 3-4 application / insecticides; fungicides 2 app./year; occasional use of herbicides; fertilizer 1443.4 kg / ha; No tillage  Type of soil: mainly clay loam.

Trioza erytreae was first detected in the Canary archipelago in 2002, on the island of Tenerife. Since then, the plague has spread throughout the rest of the western islands, in 2011 it arrived in Gran Canaria and in 2018 in Lanzarote. Surveys conducted regularly from 2009 to the present confirm that the bacterium "Candidatus Liberibacter africanus" is not present in the Canary Islands.

Recently, the biological control program (IVIA-ICIA), consisting of the importation, breeding and subsequent release in the Canary Islands of Tamarixia dryi, from South Africa, has been carried out. During the fall of 2017, several IVIA researchers traveled to South Africa to study and collect parasitoid populations from various regions of this country, which were subsequently introduced into ICIA laboratories in Tenerife, where their effectiveness and specificity were verified. Subsequently, he was experimentally released at a single point in Valle Guerra in the summer of 2018. The Plant Health Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water of the Canary Islands, has conducted surveys in more than 83 plots of Tenerife to assess the distribution and effectiveness of the parasitoid in the archipelago; and has verified that the insect has already been established in 85.7% of the plots, at altitudes ranging from sea level to more than 900 m. In addition, it has recently been found that the hornet has naturally expanded to other islands with the presence of T. erytreae. The parasitism levels that have been observed so far are generally very high.

distribution of vector insects and identify biological control agents (BCA), installation of hotels for insects and nest boxes, protocols to improve production efficiency and the natural control of the vector through alternative solutions, which in turn includes biological control, biorational products, fungal entomopathogens and chemical control strategies. The areas where the demonstration tests will be carried out must meet the following characteristics:

• Have a significant number of citrus fruit trees. • High levels of infestation with Trioza erytreae.

The Technical Plan, based on the protocols of action A-1, must be divided into two parts, as detailed below:

The demonstration trials are in the region of River Guadalquivir, the city with the largest number of orange trees in the world. The soils of the Guadalquivir have been formed by marls, clays, sandstones, sands and conglomerates. The soils in the city have been anthropized and there are routes for services and canalizations that come into conflict with the roots of the orange trees. The water level is high, and normally after a year of maintenance, they adapt and do not need to water again. The street orange, is a bitter orange without grafting and with a crown formation adapted to the passage of pedestrians in narrow streets or parks.

Plantation with specific material. Citrus aurantium var, amara, without rootstock or pattern, with a cross established 2.5 m from the neck of the tree, if possible in container and with a minimum caliber of 14-16 cm of circular perimeter. Planting hole in both park and tree well of 1 m3. During the first two years, risks are established to help consolidate the tree. Once established, the tree does not water again.

Pruning oriented to preserve gauge in steel or parking band. Avoid hiding vertical signage, traffic lights or street lamps. When the glasses impact or invade facades, shielding is required.

Annual fruit collection. It takes place between the end of November and the end of February in public areas. This work requires in Seville an effort materialized in significant temporary extension of personnel (about 300 workers in the three months).

Pest and diseases in Sevilla citrus trees

Currently Pest control is carried out from the point of view of Integrated Management. The entomofauna currently detected in the orange groves of Seville is:

 Suckers: Whiteflies. Aleurothrixus flocossus, Paraleyrodes minei.  Aphids. Aphis spiraecola, A. craccivora, A. gossypii, Macroshiphum euphorbiae.  Mealybugs Planococcus citri, Chrysomphalus aonidum, Chrysomphalus dictyospermi.  Miners: Phyllocnistis citrella. Since the only organism for which treatments are being carried out is Chrysomphalus dictyospemi (with phosphoric soap and citroline), we find a wide range of parasites and predators. Coccinellids, neuroptera, hymenoptera,...

The usual diseases in the orange trees of Seville are: Psorosis and Gomosis. Viruses and fungus respectively that affect bitter orange. Debarked by rats. Physiopathies Vandalism and works without coordination.

3.3.2 CIRAD. Guadeloupe

Technical plan

1- Current management practices at the CIRAD demonstration areas High level of technical expertise is required to maintain citrus orchards infected by HLB. Also irrigation practices associated to appropriate fertilization protocols allow to avoid to induce other stress (Table 1). This requires: - Regular irrigation (programming system to limit water stress; use of a micro sprinkler or drip system). - Mineral fertilization provided monthly at soil. - Foliar mineral fertilization to ensure better nutrient absorption. - Use of a combination of mineral oils and fertilizers in foliar form. - Regular mechanical weeding management to limit competition with weeds and avoid problems related to the use of herbicides.

Table 1: Management practices used from 2015 to 2019 in the Cirad orchards. Fertilization Irrigation Weed management Pest management Frequency Monthly Daily Monthly Bi Monthly

Type Mineral (NPK)+ Aspersion Mechanical Integrated pest Foliar management Products Urée, DAP, 11- Micro Scrapper on the Vertimec + Karate + 11-33, 12-6-20 + aspersion row / Oviphyt/black soap Hortal, mérol Mower in the inter- with foliar fertiliser row area

2- Historical land uses

The different orchards were planted with attentively banana and citrus. The two demonstration citrus orchards were planted in 2015 (tangelos and mandarins) and 2017 (orange Rhode Red). 3- Risks A regional network coordinated by French authorities (DAAF-FREDON) for epidemio- surveillance was set up in Guadeloupe in get information regarding of the presence of the vector and the disease. More than 60% of the orchards tested plots were found positive for HLB. (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: HLB parasite pressure is very high in Guadeloupe: 60% of the trees that have been tested are infected

Orchards of the demonstration area today are 100 % infected by HLB.

4- Geographic situation

Place:  Province: Guadeloupe  Municipality: Sainte Marie  Neufchâteau CIRAD station: (16◦ 15 N, 61◦ 32 W)  Altitude : 400m The area has a tropical humid climate with a mean annual rainfall of 3850 mm and a rainy period from June to October with a mean daily temperature in the range 21–25◦ C

6- Type of soil and type of vegetation

On Basse-Terre Island (Guadeloupe), volcanic ash soils cover extensive areas on the slopes surrounding the active volcano La Soufrière (elevation: 1467 m) (Colmet-Daage & Lagache, 1965). During Quaternary times, explosive eruptions resulted in thick ash deposits. In the area under study, these deposits were andesitic and quickly weathered into allophan under annual rainfall > 2500 mm (Dagain et al., 1981). Bananas have been cropped since the 1960s in this area (Ndayiragije, 1996)

Place were CIRAD orchard for the Life Citrus for Vida project will be planted.

2.- Adaptation actions that will be implemented in their area.

2.1 Mapping insect vectors control (here each partner will implement according to what ICIA proposes in its protocol) The vector is already highly present.

2.2 Installation of insect hotels Since HLB is highly present, we favor agro ecological practices since the beginning of 20019 and phytosaniotory produces are not anymore used.

2.3 Cultural practices

109

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

We will improve fertilization (ferti-irrigation) to limit as much as possible the stress induced by HLB.

2.4 Cover crops Installation of natural cover grope to limit the devolvement weeds will be done.

3.4. Portugal

3.4.1 Martinavarro. Valenciagro-Heredade da Zambujeira The demonstration trial will be located in Ferreira do Alentejo (Beja), at the south of Portugal, Baixo Alentejo region. This farm was acquired by Valenciagro, Lda. In 2000 with the purpose of growing seedless hybrids, because is an isolated citrus orchard with no risk of cross pollination. Nowadays, the farm has 120 Has of citrus. Soil is lightly alkaline, with aproximately 1 m Depth and loam clay textura. There is no limitant factors to the crop, altough a right managment of the salinity is recomended. The main weather feature is the chance of moderate frosts during winter, that is why the farm has 18 anti-Frost fans, that covers the 80% of the cultivated surface. Moreover, intense and long rain episodes are often from autumn up to spring.

5 Clarifications of concepts included in Deliverable A1

Design of demo trials table.

We have generated an Excel table that combines all the actions to be carried out that we include as Annex 10. Action A1 of the Midterm Report: Design of demo trials-table. The Table is intended for a better visual explanation of actions / parcels / members as requested by EASME.

Conventional treatment

The "conventional treatment" consists in the performance of cultural practices as has been done so far by the person in charge of each Demonstration test area. This treatment will be the reference to evaluate, by comparing it with the other sustainable techniques introduced, the agronomic and environmental impact obtained by the latter. Citrus standard management

1st) Start of sprouting (March):

-Nitrogenous foliar fertilizer (foliar urea, for example) + microelements + Gibberellic acid (optional)

2nd) Pre-Flowering / aphids (April):

-first setting pass (AG or fengib) -Amino acids -Aficidal insecticide (usually Flonicamid) -Microelements (Zinc-Manganese)

3rd) Post-flowering (May approx)

-2nd curdling treatment (AG or fengib) -Amino acids or algae -Potassium-rich fertilizer. -If there is aphid  hobby.

4th) 1st generation of California red louse (June) + first acaricidal treatment *

-Movento or pyriproxyphen + acetamiprid -Ovicidal acaricide -Wet or oil.

119

LIFE 18 CCA/ES/001109 Deliverable Action A.1 Base line characterisation report

5th) Spider treatments (July-September, what is necessary according to leaf and fruit samplings)

-Adulticidal acaricide (abamectin, mainly) -Ovicidal acaricide (hexitiazox, clofentezin, acequinocil, spirodiclofen banned this year) -Wetting agent or paraffinic oil.

6th) Fattening treatments at the end of the physiological fall (if necessary, the authorized product depends on the type of citrus):

-Auxins -Potassium-based fertilizers.

7th) Ceratitis treatments:

-Spinosad or massive trapping.

8º) Fungicide treatments for watering:

-Mancozeb or Cu compounds.

9º) Treatments for skin and hair loss (if applicable, due to the variety, harvesting requirements, etc.)

-Gibberellic acid (to support the skin) -Calcium nitrate -Auxins (in varieties that fall)

Pruning: In different phases according to type of citrus and Variety

Weed control: Chemical, manual

Harvesting: (Sept-April) – Manual

Prunning: Manual

Soil: Without cover

Fertirrigation:

NPK + micronutrients. It is not possible to establish a single subscriber program, but each farm and even each plot must have its own subscriber plan that will depend on the age, variety, rootstock, production, type and fertility of the soil, quality of the irrigation

Use of Water

Responding to the question that the Commission asks us in the letter

Citrus irrigation 3,000-5,000 M3/ha/ year depending of the rain. In the different Demonstration test areas, it has been agreed to install a volumetric meter with several objectives in both “conventional” and “water saving” treatments:

1.- Establish the usual water consumption (m3 / ha) of a citrus plantation according to the agroclimatic characteristics of each Demonstration test area. 2.- Determine the water saving (m3 / ha) obtained by the different water saving strategies and its repercussion on the agronomic behavior of the plantation. 3.- Determine the effect of the different techniques established in the efficient use of the applied water (kg / m³), by means of the relation between the supplied water and the fruit production obtained for it. In addition, in the IVIA-Agrimarba Demonstration test area, the efficient use of water will be determined from the point of view of the actual water consumption carried out by the plant, determining this through the measurement of the transpiration of the plant through the use of a LICOR equipment.
