| Abstract/Contents: | "University of Rhode Island researchers collected vegetative plugs of velvet bentgrass from putting greens on golf courses in southern New England to form the New England Velvet Bentgrass Collection. Ninety-eight accessions were confirmed as diploid velvet bentgrass using flow cytometry. The collection was screened for salt tolerance in the greenhouse. Velvet bentgrass is considered to be extremely sensitive to salt in soil and irrigation water, but the salt LD50 values for 183 clones screened ranged from <3,000 ppm to >14,500 ppm NaCl. Seventy-three accessions had LD50 values of 6,000 ppm or less, similar to the standard varieties 'SR7200' and 'Greenwich'. Twenty-five accessions had salt tolerance superior to the standard varieties, with LD50 values ranging from 7,000 ppm to over 14,000 ppm. Twenty-five percent of diploid accessions screened retained at least 50% green cover after two weeks at 6,000 ppm sodium chloride. Sixteen accessions retained at least 50% green cover after 2 weeks at 9,000 ppm sodium chloride. Two accessions retained more than 50% green cover after 2 weeks at 14,000 ppm sodium chloride. Genetic potential exists to develop velvet bentgrass varieties with moderate salt tolerance." |
