Abstract/Contents: | "Twelve varieties of 4 cool season turf grass species were introduced from DLF TRIFOLIUM Ltd. of Denmark and evaluation tests were conducted in Lanzhou, Gansu province, during 1996~1997 with local available varieties used as the control. Characters related to the environmental adaptability (EA) and the turf performance (TP) were measured. The characters for EA included winter hardness, summer hardness, green period and disease tolerance; while those of TP included texture, density, colour, wear tolerance and growth speed. A scheme of numerical value 1 to 5 were used for evaluating each of the characters based on the performance ability from poor to good. Three parameters, including EAP (EA parameter), TPP1 (green land TP parameter) and TPP2 (sport field TP parameter), were proposed and calculated respectively for comprehensive evaluation of EA or TP. The results indicated that there were 5 varieties which adapted well to the environment, and all varieties performed well for turf usage. Among them, Poa pratensis cv. Conni (EAP=5.0, TPP1=4.0, TPP2=4.1) Festuca rubra cv. Suzette (EAP=4.0, TPP1=TPP2=3.9), P. cv, Compact (EAP=3.2, TPP1=3.4, TPP2=4.2) and F. cv. Napoli (EAP=3.2, TPP1=4.1, TPP2=4.0) not only adapted well to the environment, but also performed well for turf usage. These 4 varieties were superior to the control. The evaluation method for turf grass introduction was also discussed." |
