[ 1 ] - Screening of Eleven Festuca arundinaceaNative Populations for NaCl Tolerance in Order to Use in Green Space

In the turfgrass industry, the need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses is increasing because of the increased use of saline and non-potable water. Greenhouse container experiments were conducted to determine the relative salinity tolerance and growth responses of eleven native populations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schrub) (TF), including: Semirom, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Yasuj, Yazd Abad, D...

[ 2 ] - Turf Quality Characteristics of Crested Wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum(L.) Gaertner.) Specimens Native to Iran

Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertner.) is a potential source of low-maintenance turf species for use in areas with less water. The main goal of this study was to evaluate turf quality characteristics of 24 crested wheatgrass specimens collected from different locations of Iran as low-maintenance turfgrass. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 3 re...
