Spanish term or phrase:barrón
Specifications for landscaping techniques:
En la plantación de especies cespitosas podrán utilizarse el punzón y el barrón, si las condiciones locales de humedad lo justifican.
I am pretty sure it is talking about barrón as a type of tool, and not a type of grass.
Explanation: There are several terms for this. basically, the word "barron" means a large bar. I used to be a gardner in the UK and this is the term we used.

Dibber and Widger Set (there is a picture)
The Dibber & Widger Set are a useful set of tools for "pricking-out" & "potting-on" - make holes with the Dibber & gently lift seedlings with the Widger.
Robust plastic tools, easy to clean.
Use Dibber to make holes for seeds or cuttings - measurements shown in inches & centimetres on the Dibber for easy planting.
Use either end of the Widger for gentle removal of new seedlings or rooted cuttings when potting on.
Dimensions: Dibber - 6" (15.5cm) long, Widger - 6" (15.5cm) long.
This is the ref on the grass - which I agree with Kathryn doesn't seem to fit the context - it helps to know what to avoid when searching for refs.
DRAE: barrón.
(Del aum. de barra).
1. m. Planta perenne de la familia de las Gramíneas, con tallos derechos de cerca de un metro de altura, hojas arrolladas, punzantes y glaucas, y flores en panoja amarillenta y cilíndrica, con pelos cortos. Crece en los arenales marítimos y sirve para consolidarlos.
