Abstract/Contents: | "Work continues at the University of Arizona to develop inland saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) as a turf species for arid and saline environments. Twelve inland saltgrass clones were studied to evaluate their growth responses under increasing levels of salinity stress. The research found: Saltgrass shoot (clippings) dry matter and general quality decreased linearly with increased salinity for all clones. For most clones, there was no difference among root dry matter at different salinity levels. Considering all study parameters, there was a wide range of salinity tolerance found among the twelve saltgrass clones." |
