A user-friendly operational manual for seashore paspalum, an exciting new grass perfect for use on golf courses, lawns, sports fields, and in sod production! Seashore Paspalum provides an exciting alternative grass of comparable texture and quality to hybrid bermudagrasses that can tolerate effluent, brackish, and seawater blends. Salt-sensitive species can lead to huge management costs, while salt-tolerant seashore paspalum can significantly reduce management efforts saving your time and money--without sacrificing turf quality!

Dr. Robert N. Carrow is Professor of Turfgrass Stress Physiology
and Soil Stresses, Crop and Soil Sciences Department, University of
Georgia, Griffin. Research emphasis is on turfgrass as affected by
environmental, traffic (wear and soil compaction), and edaphic
(soil chemical and physical) stresses. (E-mail:

Dr. Ron R. Duncan is Professor of Turfgrass Breeding (Paspalum,
Tall Fescue) and Stress Physiology, Crop and Soil Sciences
Department, University of Georgia, Griffin. Research emphasis on
developing turfgrasses with enhanced tolerance to abiotic, edaphic,
and biotic stresses, improved compatibility with the environment,
and minimal requirements for maintenance. (E-mail:
