Warm season turfgrass
Zulueta Corporacion produces the most reputed turfgrass varieties for Southern Europe, Northern Africa and Middle East.
Paspalum vaginatum. Features
1. Minimum water consumption
No other turfgrass has lower water requirements than Seaisle1 and Seaisle2000.
Once covering the complete surface, if irrigation stops, the plant becomes dormant. It green up again when the water supply is renewed.
2. Irrigation with low quality water
Paspalum vaginatum can accept the highest salinity rate in irrigation water. It could be even irrigated with seawater (in sandy soils): 54dS/m (20-40 grs/lt).
Waste water and water coming from desalinization plants are also valid to irrigate this grass.
3. Planting in salty and sodic soils
Paspalum vaginatum accepts a very high PH (9,5 – 10,2), SAR (>26 meq/lt) and ECe (>22 dS/m).
4. Planting in waterlogged sites
Sodic soils present very often a destroyed structure, and so they become waterlogged. Paspalum vaginatum can grow even in such situations.
5. Minimum fertilizer requirements
Paspalum vaginatum must receive low nitrogen fertilization, in order to avoid a fast growing rate.
6. Wear resistant
This turfgrass can support a heavy human traffic. Its stolons and rhizomes system, promotes a very strong turf.
7. Shorter winter dormancy.
Paspalum vaginatum becomes dormant below -2,2ºC
8. Thatch control
This turfgrass produces less thatch than Bermuda. If Nitrogen fertilization is not too high, scalping is not a problem.
9. Planting in acid soil
Paspalum vaginatum accepts very acid soils (PH<4)
10. Planting in soils contaminated with heavy metals
Paspalum vaginatum can extract heavy metals from the soil (Fe, Cu, Mg), by rhizofiltration. These metals are accumulated in the plant tissue
11. Golf courses in places with dunes
No other turfgrass can be planted in pure sand and dunes such as golf courses in the Arabic area.
