In general, perennial ryegrass had a faster growth, with higher net photosynthesis and quantum efficiency and lower dark respiration (R^D[d) than red fescue. Among the perennial ryegrass cultivars two major groups were observed: the first one with slow growth, high light compensation point (I^D[C) and low R^D[d and the second one with fast growth, low I^D[C and high R^D[d. A similar ranking was evident for the red fescue cultivars tested. The chewings fescue (F. rubra ssp. commutata ) cultivars belonged to the first group, whereas the strong creeping red fescue (F. rubra ssp. rubra ) cultivars were classified into the second group. Slender creeping red fescues (F. rubra ssp. trichophylla ) had intermediate features. These variations make it possible to use some of these characteristics in breeding programmes for turf-grasses."
