Abstract/Contents:Presents research conducted to "1) develop greenhouse and field screening techniques for evaluating salt tolerance and 2) evaluate salinity stress of cool-season turfgrasses and identify tolerant germplasm." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "a greenhouse salt chamber system was developed to screen cool-season turfgrasses for salt tolerance. This method was to simulate actual field conditions by using overhead irrigation to apply the salt water treatments." Lists the ryegrass cultivars used in the study, including Palmer III, Paragon GLR, Applaud, Brightstar SLT, and Nui. Reports that "significant differences were observed between salt treatments. The highest salt treatment 15 (ds/m [decisiemens per meter]) caused the most stress on the perennial ryegrass plants...clones of Palmer III and Applaud exhibited the most salt tolerance when all measuremnts were included. Clones of Brightstar SLT and Nui exhibited the most injury from salt stress and the most decrease in growth compared to the control plants." Also presents a "field screening technique for salt tolerance in turfgrasses." States that "approximately 5,000 perennial ryegrass plants and 29 Kentucky bluegrass cultivars and selections were evaluated between 2005 and 2006." Reports that "of the ten released cultivars 'Diva' had the highest percent green under salt stress while 'Sonic' exhibited the most salt injury (least percent green) under these conditions." Concludes that "the results indicate that both field and greenhouse techniques can be developed to screen cool-season turfgrass germplasm for salt tolerance. Both of these methods were also effective at identifying salt tolerant germplasm."
