New Zoysia Varieties Offer Enhanced Ability to Extract Salt from Soil and Water

New Zoysia varieties have demonstrated an enhanced ability to extract and tolerate salt from both soil and irrigation water, making them a strong option for challenging environments. Research shows these improved cultivars maintain turf quality and performance under elevated salinity levels by actively managing salt uptake, reducing stress that typically limits turf health. This advancement supports more sustainable turf management in coastal regions, areas with reclaimed water use, and sites with saline soils—without sacrificing density, color, or durability.
