Abstract: Turfgrass are the essential and basic unite of landscaping salinity is one of the major environmental factor which limits turf growth and quality. Salt accumulation in plant hinder water absorption, inducing physiological drought in turfgrass, scarcity of fresh water along with soil stalinization has resulted in an increasing need for screening and evaluation of salt tolerant turfgrasses. With this background the present research was laid out at Horticultural College and Research Institute for Women, Tiruchirappalli. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. To evaluate the growth response of warm season turfgrasses viz., Zoysia japonica (T1), Zoysia tenuifolia (T2), Cynodon dactylon (T3), Paspalum vaginatum (T4), Stenotaphrum secundatum (T5), Stenotaphrum secundatum cv Variegata (T6), Sporobolus tremulus (T7), Poa pratensis (T8) and Axonopus compressus (T9) under salinity ecosystem. Among the turfgrass species, Paspalum vaginatum (T4) recorded the best suitable turfgrass in the salinity ecosystem, followed by Sporobolus tremulus (T7) and Cynodon dactylon (T3) respectively.
