Abstract/Contents:Shade is a major abiotic stress for turfgrass areas with plants grown under shade having poor quality and canopy density compared to plants grown under adequate light. Among turfgrasses a range of shade tolerance has been observed, both within species and across species. The objective of our study was to assess shade tolerance in common turfgrass species and test if chlorophyll fluorescence as a measure of photosynthetic efficiency was a useful predictor for shade tolerance. A collection of species including bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum), and zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.)were grown under shade trees or in full sun and assessed for canopy coverage, vertical growth, sugar content, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. At the end of the study distinct differences among species were found for shade performance. Understanding variations in physiological adaptation to shade conditions and effective screening of these traits will be essential for the development of improved cultivars.
