| Abstract/Contents: | "Italy's climate fits almost entirely within the transition zone, in which warm season turfgrass species suffer from winter dormancy and loss of green color. Research carried out in Italy around the N 43° parallel have shown the good adaptability of Cynodon spp., Paspalum vaginatum and certain species of Zoysia. The goal of this research was to study some warm season turfgrass species and cultivars grown in Northern Italy, in order to evaluate their potential for use in golf courses of that region. The trial was carried out in 2004-2007 at the Montecchia Golf Club in Padua (45°42'N, 11°86'E). The following species and cultivars were evaluated: Cynodon dactylon (L.) cv Princess 77, Cynodon dactylon x transvaalensis cv Tifway 419, Eremochloa ophiuroides cv Tifblair, Paspalum vaginatum cv Salam, Pennisetum clandestinum cv AZ1, Zoysia japonica cv El Toro, Zoysia japonica cv Zenith, Zoysia matrella cv Zeon. Princess, Tifblair, AZ1 and Zenith cultivars were seeded, while the rest of the cultivars were established by vegetative propagation methods. Species were established on June 28 2004, following a randomized block layout with 4 replications of 6 m2 plots. During the trial the following evaluations were carried out: percent ground cover during establishment, spring green-up, fall color retention, turfgrass quality, leaf blade width, shoot density, total rhizome-stolon length per unit area. The fastest-establishing species were the bermudagrasses and in particular Tifway 419. Best quality, highest shoot density and highest rhizome-stolon length per unit area were shown by Zoysia matrella cv Zeon. In conclusion, the species that showed best adaptation to trial environment were the Zoysias and the bermudagrasses, with vegetatively propagated cultivars having an edge over seeded cultivars in term of overall results. Eremochloa ophiuroides showed good turfgrass quality." |
