| Abstract/Contents: | "Research continues at the University of Georgia to screen ecotypes of seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) for overall drought resistance in a field dry-down situation and for tolerance to root limiting stresses. Knowledge gained from these efforts include the following: Increasingly, turfgrasses with superior multiple stress tolerances will be desired, especially for major stresses such as drought, salinity, and acid soils. Seashore paspalum ecotypes exhibit substantial differences in drought resistance and acid soil tolerance, just as they do for salinity, wear, mowing height, and other stresses. Some seashore paspalum ecotypes exhibit drought resistance similar to that of Tifway bermudagrass, while others are far more sensitive to drought. Breeders can take advantage of natural variability in stress tolerances to develop seashore paspalum cultivars that possess superior tolerance to not just one stress but several major stresses. When making grass selection decisions, turf managers should be aware that great differences in seashore paspalum cultivars exist and they should make sure that the cultivar they select has adequate tolerance to the stresses frequently encountered on their course." |
