Comparison of salinity tolerance evaluation system of Zoysiagrass

In order to establish efficient and convenient evaluation system of salinity tolerance for Zoysiagrass, the effects of different NaCl levels on leaf firing percentage and dry shoot clipping weight were investigated with parallel processing and gradually increasing processing. The results showed that two processing methods were consistent with each for salt tolerance of Zoysiagrass. The gradually increasing processing method could be used to quick evaluation of large-scale germplasm resources of Zoysiagrass because it was convenient, low cost, stable and reliable.
