SEAISLE1
DISEASE RESISTANCE
SeaIsle
1 does not have a wide variety
of disease problems that tend to plague
other warm season grasses. More than likely,
this is due to the fact that the grass
evolved in a wet, humid ecosystem, where
it developed high levels of resistance.
When irrigating with brackish or straight
seawater, disease problems are negligible,
since most diseases do not function well
at high salinity levels. SeaIsle1
was developed to resist dollar spot
and ranked "most resistant"
to it in three 1995 studies.
