Abstract

A vegetatively reproduced seashore paspalum cultivar, developed from a segregating seed collection of unknown parentage, is named "Sea Isle 1'. It is distinguished by high tolerance to salinity, dark green color, fine textured leaves, and high turf quality and density. These distinguishing characteristics make it particularly suitable as a turfgrass for lawns and golf courses.
