Abstract
This study was conducted at the nursery of ‘AmericanUniversity in Cairo’ located at New Cairo-Fifth District/Settlement, Cairo Governorate, Egypt. During the 2014 and 2015 seasons. The reason of this study was to examine the impact of different soil mixtures, namely, (M1), 75% sand + 20% clay + 5% compost (M2), 50% sand + 40% clay + 10% compost (M3), 25% sand + 60% clay + 15% compost and (M4), zero% sand + 100% clay + zero% compost. Under different irrigation levels (7, 5, or 3 liters/m2/day) were done on vegetative growth and chemical composition of seashore Paspalum grass. Results showed that the plants grown in culture media M2 containing (50% sand, 40% clay and 10% compost) and irrigated with highest water level (7 liters/m2/day) resulted in significantly increasing plants height, fresh and dry weight of clippings, fresh and dry weight of underground parts and chlorophyll a, b and a + b content. Data also observed that the plants grown in  M4 containing  zero% sand + 100% clay + zero% compost and irrigated with highest water gave the heaviest fresh and dry weight of side shoots, also the same mixture produced the lowest values of Non-coverage. These programs may be suggested for conquering the harmful effect on development and substance composition of seashore Paspalum grass, under poor aeration and drainage in clay soil, and poor water retention in sandy soil. In order to reduce the above problems. Organic matter, clay and sandy soil must be mixed. Conclusion On the basis of study results. The ideal culture media is created from a combination of large sand particles, smaller loam or clay particles and organic matter for fertility and save water.
