Funded Activity Summary
Understanding salt and water dynamics to enhance the quality of turfgrasses irrigated with saline water in a Mediterranean environment: an evaluation of four species. This project will elucidate quantitative relationships between growth and the levels of root-zone salts and water. The results will enable development of best practices for use of salt-tolerant turfgrass species, to (i) improve aesthetics of many rural and coastal towns faced with salinity, and (ii) enable use of saline groundwater, and thus conserve precious potable water, reducing costs of water for irrigation. The project is also of relevance to saline agricultural areas, as the species investigated could also have applications in saltland pastures. The outcomes will contribute to National priorities dealing with salinity management and protection of water resources.Funded Activity Details
