Effect
Stella Maris treated Turf grass, cv. Salam, grown under drought stress conditions had on average a 30 % better turf quality, a 20.5 % higher leaf photochemical efficiency, a 12.5 % higher maximum root length, 13 % more root dry weight, 14.4 % more total nonstructural carbohydrates, 17.6 % more K and 14.8 % more Ca compared to the untreated control grown in the same conditions. Stella Maris treated Turf grass grown under optimal irrigation conditions had on average a 8.2 % better turf quality, a 2.5 % higher leaf photochemical efficiency, a 13.9 % longer maximum root length, 11.1 % more root dry weight, 14.2 % more total nonstructural carbohydrates, 6.2 % more K and 13.7 % more Ca compared to the untreated control in the same conditions. The highest dose gave better results in both irrigation conditions and Stella Maris had more effect on Turf grass in drought stress.
