Abstract
This experiment aims to study the effect of water salinity tolerance and suitable nitrogen fertilizer application under salinity irrigation on Bermuda grass cv. Champion. The experimental design was split-plot in randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Main plot was nitrogen fertilizer application rates at 3 levels; N1 60 kg N/rai/year, N2 90 kg N/rai/year and N3 120 kg N/rai/year. Subplot was water salinity at 4 levels; S1 0 mS/cm, 8 mS/cm, 16 mS/cm, and 24 mS/cm. The result showed similarities in stolon/area, dry weight/area, and green area under all nitrogen fertilizer rates. Water salinity rates at 0 and 8 mS/cm caused higher (p < 0.05) in the number of stolon/area, dry weight/area, and green area than 16 and 24 mS/cm of water salinity.
