Abstract/Contents: | "Germination of warm- and cool-season turfgrasses was assessed at salinity levels commonly found in recycled irrigation water. Cool-season grass seeds included in the study were Thermal Blue hybrid bluegrass [Poa arachnifera (Torr.) × pratensis (L.)]; Barlexas II, Southeast, and Tar Heel II tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea (Schreb.)]; Brightstar SLT and Catalina perennial ryegrass [Lolium perenne (L.)]; Salty and Fults alkaligrass [Puccinellia distans (Jacq.)]; and Dawson red fescue [Festuca rubra trichophylla (L.)]. Warm-season grass seeds used in the study were bermudagrass Numex Sahara, Princess 77, and Transcontinental [Cynodon dactylon (L.)]; Companion zoysiagrass [Zoysia japonica (Steud)]; and Seaspray seashore paspalum [Paspalum vaginatum (Swartz)]. Each grass was incubated at salinity levels from 0.6 to 3.0 dS/m. Germination was considered successful upon radicle emergence and the first leaf growing past the coleoptile. Despite species and cultivar variation in germination success, germination was not inhibited in any of the tested cultivars at the salinity levels used in this study, suggesting that germination may not be the most salt-sensitive stage in turfgrass development." |
