2)
Tissue damage
Injury to root and shoot tissues can
result at high salt levels
Based on tests of shoot and root growth
responses to increasing salinity levels,
Seaisle
1 showed a minimal decline in rooting
and maintained a high level of growth
when compared to Adalayd and Tifway
419. Sea
Isle 1 is the most salt tolerant of
the warm
season grasses.
