Seashore paspalum seeds11/11/2023 Salt tolerant cultivars are expected to have the ability to maintain growth and thereby have minimal reduction in total biomass when exposed to salt. Higher ratings of visual appearance of turf quality presented as leaf firing ratings and higher biomass production (clip weight, verdue weight, crown and root weight, and total biomass weight) are positive indicators of salt tolerance. Large genotypic differences were observed for all traits measured. Progress 01/01/06 to 12/31/06 Outputs Six replications of 15 genotypes including 14 seashore paspalum genotypes and one ultra-dwarf bermudagrass genotype, TifEagle were simultaneously evaluated in a greenhouse study at each of three salt concentrations. Impacts investigator retired 2007 Publications PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project. TARGET AUDIENCES: Not relevant to this project. Progress 10/01/02 to 09/30/07 Outputs OUTPUTS: investigator retire 2007 PARTICIPANTS: Not relevant to this project. Responses, deep rooting capability/persistent root plasticity. TALL FESCUE: stress tolerance evaluations involving acid soils, drought, high heat and humidity, disease (especially brown patch-Rhizoctonia solani) Investigations into bioremediation capabilities of paspalum. Development of a seeded seashore paspalum. Ecotype assessment for various insect and disease responses. Greens management protocols to maximize performance. Investigations into variable release fertilizer products to streamline judicious use of fertilizers on paspalum. Best management practices (BMPs) will be developed for preemergence and postemergence herbicide efficacy on paspalum including encroachment issues with other grass species. Winter hardiness traits will involve an initial strategy involving molecular modulation of bioactive gibberrelic acid content. Georgia’s Integrated Cultivar Release System ( GICRS), takes “the systems approach” to integrating plant breeding research, intellectual property protection, quality control and marketing to a global marketplace.Project Methods SEASHORE PASPALUM: Using multiple environmental stresses (acid soils, high/low temperatures, cyclic drought, salinity, high bulk density non-expanding clay soils) to identify persistent rooting ecotypes. Georgia’s Integrated Cultivar Release System Georgia Seed Development meets the needs of today’s agricultural and horticultural markets by propagating and marketing foundation seeds and plant materials of new cultivars that are higher yielding, more disease-resistant, more nutritious or of greater ornamental value. The Georgia Crop Improvement Association is an organization of seed producers who are interested in growing and making available to the public, through certification, high quality seeds and propagating materials of superior varieties so grown and distributed as to insure genetic purity and identity. You can find more information on the process for domestic certification and obtaining quality plant material for beginning production through these organizations: All international licensees are required to be certified through the International Turfgrass Genetic Assurance Program (ITGAP). Information on becoming a licensed sod producer within the United States and/or outside the United States is available through UGA’s Innovation Gateway/University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF)Īll University of Georgia turfgrass varieties are certified and inspected. The UGA Innovation Gateway office performs these commercialization functions for UGARF. It owns, patents and licenses the intellectual property in novel turfgrass and other plant varieties developed at UGA. The University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGARF) is a private, non-profit corporation established to support the research activities of the University of Georgia. Limited licensing opportunities are available to quality sod producers who have an interest in growing the University of Georgia’s seashore paspalum turf varieties.
