- Salinity tolerance
- Unknown for this designation; assess confirmed species and water EC
- Drought tolerance
- Unverified for this designation
Optimal root measurement depth
1–3 in
Putting-green and fine-turf roots are short, especially in summer; read shallow. Typical guidance; confirm with a soil probe on site.
Use measured root-zone response; do not transfer another cultivar’s drought or salinity claims.
