| Abstract/Contents: | "Bermudagrass is often overseeded during the dormant months to enhance playability of the turf and extend the growing season. Although diploid perennial ryegrass (2n=2x=14) is the major turfgrass species used for overseeding, recent research indicates the potential use of alternative overseeding species, including tetraploid perennial ryegrass (2n=4x=28), intermediate ryegrass, and meadow fescue. An issue that is becoming increasingly prevalent in overseeding regions is the use of non-potable water sources that may have a high salt content. The objective of this study was to determine the germination potential of four overseeding species in the presence of increasing salt concentrations. The study was conducted in a hydroponic system in the greenhouse. There were no major differences in germination among diploid, tetraploid, or intermediate ryegrass at any of the salinity levels, but germination of all ryegrasses was inhibited at salt concentrations greater than 12500 ppm NaCl. Meadow fescue was more sensitive to salt than the ryegrasses and was severely inhibited at the highest salt concentration (15000 ppm NaCl)." |
