Abstract
Paspalum vaginatum is a warm season (C4 photosynthetic pathway) grass which has had limited use in turf. The cultivars Excalibur and Adelaide have been used with some success in southern California, Texas, and gulf areas of the southeastern United States. Attributes of this species include: 1) moderate growth rate, 2) heat tolerance, and 3) salinity tolerance. Limitations to date have included: 1) vegetative establishment requirements, 2) scalping tendency, and 3) yellow-green turf color.
