| Abstract/Contents: | "Using low input turfgrasses can enhance water conservation and mitigate environmental impacts. Two experimental bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) lines were selected for their improved turf traits. These Wilmington genotypes (WilM7 and WilM10) were compared with 'Argentine' bahiagrass, 'Empire' zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) and 'Floratam' St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] for their drought responses. Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in 6.4 X 120 cm clear acrylic tubes. Two treatments were imposed; a well-watered and a dry down. Thresholds (10% decline) and midpoints (50% decline) were used to compare photosynthesis, transpiration and turf quality during drought stress. CO2 gas exchange rates (μmol CO2 m-2s-1) and chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) measurements were performed using a Licor LI-6800. Drought responses initiated with a decrease in gas exchange and transpiration, followed by a decline in turf quality. Fv/Fm reductions were detected later in the drying cycle. Both bahiagrass experimental lines, zoysiagrass and St. Augustinegrass reduced transpiration at higher soil water values compared to Argentine. WilM10, WiM7 and zoysiagrass showed better drought responses, which were indicated by its lower midpoint for turf quality and lower threshold for Fv/Fm. Results from this research suggest that WiM10 above ground physiological responses to drought resemble Empire zoysiagrass. Furthermore, WilM10 and WilM7 may have improved drought avoidance characteristics compared to Argentine. Better turfgrass performance was characterized by a maintenance in Fv/Fm throughout the dry down and early reductions in transpiration." |
