SEAISLE1
SOIL pH ADAPTATION
Paspalums in general will tolerate
pH ranges from a very acidic pH 3.5 to
a highly alkaline pH 10.2, and they root
equally well in sands, heavy clays, silts
and mucks. In acidic soil field trials,
Sea Isle 1 placed in the "high
tolerance" group, while SeaIsle2000,
the fine-bladed greens-type paspalum cultivar,
scored in the "very high tolerance"
group. In extremely alkaline soils, paspalums
are usually the only turf-type grass species
that can survive.
