Title Of Article :
The Effects of Different Salt Concentrations on the Yield and Quality of Some Warm Season Turf Grasses
Abstract :
The objective of this pot experiment was to investigate the effects of different salt concentrations (0-100-200-300 mM) on the yield and quality of some warm season turf grasses (Cynodon dactylon x C.transvaalensis, Stenotaphrum secundatum, Pennisetum clandestinum) during 6 months. This study was carried out under greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangements. Increasing salinity resulted in a significant reduction in turf quality except colour of leafs. In all cultivars, shoot and root lenghts were shorten and their weights were decreased. Based on the results of the present study, altought Pennisetum clandestinum was affected by 200 mM and 300 mM salt concentration, it showed significantly higher salinity tolerance compared to other tested cultivars.
