Growth and physiological characteristics of forage bermudagrass in response to salt stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) has a long history as an excellent forage grass, and salt stress will inhibit its growth and development. In order to minimize the damage, it is necessary to continuously develop innovative technologies and management strategies.

Results

This study evaluated the salt tolerance of new Bermudagrass strains 'FB2019R101' and 'FB2019R105' compared to commercial varieties 'Wrangler' and 'A12359' under simulated soil salinity conditions through seawater irrigation. Through correlation analysis of growth, physiological, and nutritional indicators, and principal component analysis, core indicators and weights for salt tolerance evaluation were identified. The salt-tolerant varieties were 'FB2019R101' and 'FB2019R105'. Under salinity stress,
