Question: | "Does seashore paspalum require salty water (sodium)? (Florida)" |
Source of Question: | Florida |
Answer/Response: | "A misconception is that seashore paspalum needs large amounts of sodium to survive. Although seashore paspalum grows in areas that contain elevated salts better than most turfgrasses, it thrives in clean water. Even though research shows that seashore paspalum can take up sodium, it acts like a plant growth regulator and reduces its growth. If high concentrations of salts are continually applied without periodic flushing, injury can occur." |
