• Influence of Bolster on Bermudagrass under saline stress

Virginia Polytechnic Institute And State University, 1995
Xunzhong Zang and R. E. Schmidt

Conclusions - "Saline stress at both 3800 and 7600-ppm levels suppressed shoot and root growth of Bermudagrass obviously. This result suggested that an application of Bolster was most beneficial to enhance growth of this moderately salt-tolerant grass under a high salt level."
