| Abstract/Contents: | "USGA-sponsored research studies are ongoing at Karsten Turfgrass Research Facility, Department of Plant Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the University of Arizona. This specific experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to evaluate growth responses, in terms of shoot lengths, clippings dry matter (DM) yield, as well as general quality of various saltgrass clones collected from different southwestern states of the US under combined effects of prolonged drought and mowing stress. The results showed: At either mowing height, shoot length and clippings dry matter decreased linearly as drought period progressed, and there were significant differences among the shoot lengths and dry matter of different clones at either mowing height (2.5 and 5.0 cm) and at each harvest. For most clones, there was no difference among the shoot lengths or clipping dry matter between the two mowing heights. For all clones, grass general quality followed the same pattern as the clipping dry matter, and general qualitiy of various clones were significantly different than each other at either mowing height and at any weekly evaluation. Considering all the study parameters together, there was a wide range of drought and mowing tolerance found among the various clones. Clone 72 was superior and the most tolerant to combined effects of drought and mowing stress, while clone A60 was least tolerant." |
