Abstract: The invention describes a general method of controlling and/or substantially eliminating weeds by applying compositions comprising chloride ion-containing compounds having chloride concentrations that effectively control the growth of and/or substantially eliminate weedy species such as bermudagrass and other grassy and broadleaved weeds, without harming salt-tolerant grasses such as Seashore paspalum or the environment. The compositions may also include chelants or other additives that enhance movement of the composition into the weedy species shoots and other grass components for control as well as other chemicals or compounds applied prior to or after application of the compositions to control and eliminate weedy species. The methods of the invention are particularly useful in developing, managing and maintaining golf courses, vegetative or seed production fields, sports fields, lawns, landscapes and any other paspalum plantings (e.g., forages, land stabilization, bioremediation).

Abstract: A seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum O. Swartz) cultivar that can be propagated from seed is disclosed. In one example, the cultivar is known as ‘Sea Spray’. Also disclosed is seed used to produce the grass, and methods of using the grass plant. In some examples, this grass is suitable for use in turf where alternative water resources are used to care for the turf.

Abstract: A vegetatively reproduced seashore paspalum cultivar, selected as a mutation from the cultivar Adalayd®, is named ‘SEA ISLE 2000’. It is distinguished by high tolerance to salinity, dark green color, extremely fine leaf blades that are generally ≦1.5 mm in width, and the ability to tolerate mowing to {fraction (5/32)} inch height. These distinguishing characteristics make ‘SEA ISLE 2000’ particularly suitable as a turfgrass for lawns and golf courses, especially golf course greens.

Abstract: A vegetatively reproduced seashore paspalum cultivar, developed from a segregating seed collection of unknown parentage, is named ‘Sea Isle 1’. It is distinguished by high tolerance to salinity, dark green color, fine textured leaves, and high turf quality and density. These distinguishing characteristics make it particularly suitable as a turfgrass for lawns and golf courses.

Abstract: A new and distinct vegetatively reproduced cultivar of seashore papalum, Paspalum vaginatum, which is characterized by its semi-dwarf, low growing and rapidly spreading growth habit, its superior salt tolerance and its ability to maintain high turf density and quality at a range of mowing heights. These characteristics make it desirable for wall to wall use on golf courses, athletic fields and recreational venues where water quality is a consideration.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Paspalum vaginatum Swartz (Seashore paspalum) named ‘TE-13’ is disclosed. ‘TE-13’ is characterized as having exceptional turf density and foliarly disease resistance under closely mowed micro-environmental stress conditions.
