| Abstract/Contents: | "Many turfgrass cultivars in use today are poorly adapted to acid soils. Soil acidity is a major problem in the establishment and maintenance of turfgrasses. About 40% of the world's soils are acid. Aluminum is often toxic in these soils when the pH is below 5.5. Although liming can correct surface soil acidity, subsoils may remain toxic and limit root growth that is needed for drought avoidance. A research program to screen turfgrass germplasms was initiated in January 1994. Greenhouse screening methods using solution culture, sand culture, and acid Tatum soil were used to screen collections of Kentucky bluegrass (150 genotypes), perennial reygrass (120 genotypes), tall fescue (92 genotypes), and fine fescues (58 genotypes) for Al tolerance. Significant variation in Al tolerance was identified among species and genotypes within species. The ranking of Al tolerance for species was fine fescues, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass. The findings of our research should support and strengthen the Cook College/NJAES breeding program in its efforts to develop stress tolerant turfgrass cultivars." |
