Abstract© 2020, The Author(s). This study attempted to use produced water (PW) to irrigate turfgrass species, Cynodon dactylon and Paspalum sp. Assessment on established grasses, heavy metal accumulation and germination tests for weeds and turf grass seeds were conducted to evaluate the impact of PW irrigation. C. dactylon depicted lower tolerance while Paspalum sp. showed better tolerance capacity towards PW. C. dactylon grown from seeds under greenhouse conditions were not able to tolerate more than 30% concentration of PW (4.5% salinity). In comparison to tap water irrigated turf grass, Paspalum sp. was found to accumulate higher concentrations of V and Pb in shoots and Cr, Ni and As in roots. The results of seed germination tests recommended that irrigation with PW is to be performed after turfgrass establishment. Germination tests also revealed that PW could encourage growth of the weed—Chloris virgata while it could discourage growth of Amaranthus viridis and Launaea mucronata. This study suggests that PW could be used for turfgrass as an alternative water resource but only after further research on the long-term scale.
