| Abstract/Contents: | "As the availability of potable water is diminished to golf course superintendents, landscapers, sod producers and homeowners, choices for the best turf performance will center around drought and salt tolerance. Pure-Seed Testing Inc. in Oregon has been studying salt tolerance in several cool season species of turfgrass. This paper specifically reports differences between commercial National Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratenses L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars from the 1995 and 1999 NTEP (National Turf Evaluation Program) trials. In salt baths under greenhouse conditions with a synthetic ocean mix, Kentucky bluegrass cultivars were subjected to 10,000 ppm salinity level and perennial ryegrass cultivars to 17,000 ppm salinity level. For eight and nine weeks respectively, significant differences between cultivars were found based on percent survival within each cultivar and percent foliar leaf firing (damage) on a visual rating scale. 'North Star' Kentucky bluegrass and 'Brightstar SLT' (PST-2A6B) perennial ryegrass were the top cultivars for salt tolerance in this study. Differences were observed in perennial ryegrass for salinity tolerance during germination versus vegetative growth stages. Three fine fescue (Festuca spp.) cultivars were also tested for percent germination at 5,000 ppm, 10,000 ppm and 15,000 ppm. 'Seabreeze' slender creeping fescue maintained a high germination rate at 15,000 ppm." |
