Evaluates glycine betaine's impact on turfgrass quality and growth under salinity stress, suggesting species-specific responses.

This research aims to analyze how glycine betaine affects turfgrass species under saline conditions.
Conducted a controlled greenhouse experiment.
Evaluated four cool-season turfgrass species: Festuca rubra, Lolium perenne, Festuca arundinacea, and Poa pratensis.
Applied glycine betaine foliar treatments under saline and non-saline conditions.
Measured growth traits such as turf quality, color, chlorophyll, and biomass.
Salinity negatively impacted turf quality and growth across all species.
F. arundinacea and P. pratensis showed better resilience to salinity compared to L. perenne.
Glycine betaine partially alleviated salt stress in specific species, highlighting its variable effectiveness.
