Abstract
Two field experiments were located at the place of Abu Jerida of Faculty of Agric. Damietta Univ. during two seasons of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The research aims to test the effect of chemical fertilizer as microelements and salinity on two species of turfgrass (paspalum and seashore paspalum). 16 treatments were arranged in split block design with 3 replicates as follows: 4 levels of salinity (control, 1800, 3600 and 7200 ppm) as main plot and 4 sources of micronutrient in foliar way (without, Fe, Mn and Zn) as sub plot. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: fresh and dry weight g/plant, moisture%, chlorophyll content, Fe, Zn and Mn content as well as protein and carbohydrates content % decreased with increasing salinity levels. However, application of micro elements improved the previous traits by causing significant increases in the values with the corresponding controls. Foliar application of iron was the most effective one. Except protein was with zinc. As for, Paspalum, found that seashore paspalum recorded higher mean values of fresh weight than paspalum. Regarding to the interaction effect found that using iron as foliar application under low level of salinity recorded the highest mean values of parameters under study.
