Salinity effects on the early development stages of Panicum coloratum: cultivar differences

Abstract: The Argentinean semiarid Chaco region is climatically suitable for cattle raising and has an average annual rainfall of 550 mm, concentrated from November to February. There, large areas are affected by high salinity; thus, perennial forages suitable for this region must combine adequate salt and drought tolerance. Panicum coloratum is a C4 perennial grass adapted over a wide range of soil and rainfall conditions, and the purpose of this study was to evaluate the response of two cultivars (Klein Verde and Bamb… Show more

“…Bambatsi has been mentioned as more salt tolerant than several tropical pasture legumes (Keating et al ., ), a comparison of salt tolerance between cultivars Klein and Bambatsi showed that cv. Klein accumulated more dry matter than Bambatsi in a saline field (Taleisnik et al ., ) and was also more salt tolerant in greenhouse experiments. Cultivar Klein was, therefore, considered suitable material for further investigation of variability in salt tolerance in this species.…”

“…Seed germination and early seedling growth are critical stages for the establishment of plant populations under saline conditions (Perez et al, 1998;Khan and Gulzar, 2003). Grasses differ in their upper limit of salinity tolerance and an increase in salinity concentration usually delays and reduces seed germination (Gulzar et al, 2001).…”

“…In the others drought and frosts that occurred between March and August may have been responsible for the significant decrease in the number of surviving plants. These factors could have been more important than salinity in determining the number of surviving plants, as observed for Panicum coloratum plots established in the same area ( Taleisnik et al ., 1998 ).…”
