Implication

Analysis demonstrates the impact of salt stress on forage production and turf quality in smooth bromegrass, suggesting potential for selective breeding.

Key Points

Salt stress adversely affected forage yield by nearly 50% and reduced turf quality characteristics significantly.
Heritability estimates (h2b) ranged from 0.36 to 0.92, showing considerable genetic variation among examined traits.
Assessment across 74 smooth bromegrass genotypes over two years identified possible candidates for future breeding.
Simultaneous selection for forage production and turf quality is feasible within smooth bromegrass under both normal and salt stress.
