USGA Summary Points:Evaluation of 190 clones of saltgrass demonstrated that high seed production is possible with selection of the better lines. Selected lines had yields of greater than 1000 lbs/acre. Seed scarification is necessary to obtain uniform and high germination percentages. Saltgrass exhibited good green color and high flower productin under drought conditions when buffalograss, blue grama, crested wheat, and bermudagrass turned brown. Saltgrass can be separated into three broad categories based on chromosome numbers of 2n=4x=38, 2n=4x=40 and higher levels of 72+. Saltgrass plants found generally east of the Rocky Mountains (2n=38-chromosome plant type) appeared to have more vertical oriented leaf angles while those west of the Rocky Montains (2n = 40-chromosome type) appeared to have more horizontally oriented leaf angles.
