ABSTRACT

To assess seed germination parameters and identifying tolerant varieties, seeds of nine tall fescue varieties (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) were germinated under various salinity levels for 14 days. Tall fescue is considered moderately tolerant to salinity stress, but our study revealed a remarkable diversity among the tested varieties. Armani, Essential, Fatcat, and Starlett were found to reach the same fifinal germination (>90%), irrespective of NaCl concentration up to 15 ds m−NaCl; Asterix and Meandre expressed lower germination under the highest salinity level (>75%); and fifinal germination decreased in Eyecandy, Rhizing star, and Thomahawk gradually with increasing salinity (>55%).The main effffect of increasing salinity was a delay in germination, and our study suggests that the recording of fifinal germination, which is performed on day-14 in a standard germination test, should be postponed in order to understand the full effffect of salinity on germination potential. Nonetheless, a delay in germination will affffect turf quality negatively and hence there is good reason to test for salinity tolerance when choosing a variety for sowing on saline soil. Further, our findings indicate a future perspective for breeding for improved salinity tolerance in tall fescue by the identifification of salinity-tolerant breeding lines or varieties.
