Abstract/Contents:"There is a lack of data concerning the response of different bentgrass cultivars (Agrostis spp. L.) and Poa annua L. and in particular putting surface quality, to the regular application of high salinity effluent in a temperate, coastal environment. The aim of these trials was to assess the performance of the more salt tolerant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) cultivars, a local Poa annua var. reptans Hausskn. and a blend of Poa annua var. reptans Hausskn. selections from the Pennsylvania State University annual bluegrass breeding program, when irrigated with high salinity treated effluent. Overall, this trial indicates that in a temperate, coastal environment, on a well drained sand profile, creeping bentgrass and a blend of Poa annua selections from Pennsylvania State University can sustain high quality putting surfaces when irrigated with treated effluent high in total soluble salts, sodium and chloride. The trial also demonstrates that the growth response of different bentgrass cultivars grown in controlled, hydroponic conditions may not be reflected in the field when assessing surface characteristics. The trial results also indicate that during periods of heat stress, high salinity can cause some reduction in visual turfgrass quality and density though this was not consistently demonstrated."
