Abstract/Contents:Due to a concern in the salinity of Florida's water a study was conducted to identify salt tolerance of Paspalum notatum, Cynodon, Stenotaphrum secundatum, and Eremochloa ophiuroides. Saline irrigation levels were monitored for effect in comparison to another study on daily irrigation of Stenotaphrum secundatum "Floratam," "Floratine," and "Roselawn." It was determined that salt in the rootzone increases as soil dries, so irrigation containing salts doubles and triples those levels, and Eremochloa and paspalum seem to be very susceptible to damage this way and therefore should be avoided in salt concentrated areas.
