Abstract
Objective: The objective of this pot experiment was to investigate the effects of different salt concentrations (0-100-200-300 mM) on yield and quality of some warm season turf grasses. Material ve Methods: Tifway-419, Floratam and Whittet cultivar of Uganda (Cynodon dactylon x C. Transvaalensis), Buffalo (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze) and Kikuyu (Pennisetum c/andestinum Hochst. Ex. Chiov) grasses those are warm season turf grasses graminae species were experimental materials. Different salt soncentrations (0, 100,200,300 mM (0, 10, 19, 28 dS/ m^-1 ) were treated to plants in NaCl form to investigate the effect of salt concentrations. Results: Increasing salinity resulted in a significant reduction on dry weight of vegetative parts and roots. Also, contents of the three major nutrients; N, P, K elements were affected adversely as salinity increased. As a result of this study, altought Pennisetum c/andestinum was affected by 200 mM and 300 mM salt concentration, it showed significantly higher salinity tolerance compared to other tested cultivars. Conclusion: It is cloncluded that, Pennisetum c/andestinum can be commonly growth in highly salt affected soils. In addition, various salinity experiments on this plant needed to be conducted also in the fields.
