Salt-tolerant pasture grasses for saline soils
Salt tolerant forage grasses offer a use for saline soils where cereals fail. W L Crowle at the CDA Experimental Farm Scott Saskatchewan reports breeding for salt tolerance in slender and tall wheat grasses. Screening of hundreds of lines will take years to yield a new variety. Tall wheat grass shows higher salt tolerance but poor drought resistance and coarser leaves. Slender wheat grass is drought resistant but short lived. Russian wild rye grass may prove more salt tolerant. brome and crested wheat grasses have only moderate salinity tolerance.
