Abstract/Contents:"Seashore paspalum is a relatively new turfgrass species being evaluated for use in Arkansas for golf courses or sports fields. Identifying adapted cultivars for the region remains a central focus of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture turfgrass research program. The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) is the predominant means by which cultivars are tested throughout North America. A seashore paspalum cultivar trial was planted in the summer of 2007 at Fayetteville, Ark. This trial has been maintained under typical golf course fairway conditions and data on spring green-up, winterkill, coverage, leaf color, leaf texture and fall color retention were collected in 2010. This trial was significantly damaged by severe cold temperatures during the 2009/2010 winter and all cultivars had significant loss of turfgrass coverage. The cultivar, Salam, survived the winter better than other cultivars, but still had over 73% loss of coverage due to winter injury. All cultivars had recovered to >90% turfgrass coverage by the end of the growing season. Overall, there have been subtle differences in various turf quality parameters among the cultivars, and they all perform similarly in Northwest Arkansas. However, these results also suggest that none of the cultivars have enough cold tolerance to consistently survive winters in our region."
