Abstract/Contents: | Explains that seashore paspalum is not immune to the effects of high salinity, although it tolerates relatively high levels. Oftentimes, highly saline conditions coincide with high expectations of turfgrass quality, and seashore paspalum can be used in these cases. However, little is known regarding the effects of salinity on the quality of seashore paspalum. A study was conducted to determine whether turf quality changes in response to increasing levels of salinity administered through daily irrigation. As salinity increased, visual quality scores fell. Excess salt also reduced plant moisture content, inhibiting growth. Overall, salinity had an observable effect on the quality of Sea Dwarf seashore paspalum. |
