| Abstract/Contents: | "There are over 1.2 million ha of cultivated saline land in the province of Alberta. Our objectives were to develop reliable recommendations under field conditions of the salinity tolerance of various grasses. Information on how salinity levels influence the growth of grasses under field conditions would provide better management options for forage production. An irrigated site was established at Brooks and a dryland site at Hanna, Alberta. Twenty-five species are being evaluated under irrigation and 19 under dryland using a randomised block design. Forage yields indicate that tall wheatgrass, Dahurian wildrye and Russian wildrye have a high degree of salinity tolerance under irrigation. Under dry conditions pubescent wheatgrass and weeping alkaligrass were the most saline tolerant. Turfgrass species, such as tall fescue and creeping red fescue, showed good-to-moderate tolerance to salinity." |
