| Abstract/Contents: | "The turf quality characteristics of 28 Poa pratensis varieties introduced from overseas were studied and evaluated. Single factor measurement results showed very significant quality characteristic differences between varieties, and they could easily be classified into different types. Varieties with the highest density were Limousine and Elysee (1.45 shoots/cm2), followed by Cynthia (1.02 shoots/cm2). Monopoly had the highest coverage (87.1%), followed by Wembley (67.7%). Elysee and Limousine had the narrowest leaves (2.57mm and 2.74mm, respectively), followed by Compact. Growth habits showed three forms, namely, semi-perpendicular (including Julia), semi-creeping (including Sydspor), and a middle type growth form. There were five color types. Only one variety had slight winter yellowing and withering (Entopper). The remaining varieties showed medium or severe symptoms. Fylking showed the longest green period (336 d), followed by Balin, Bar 5649, Conni, Entopper, and Monopoly (333 d). The results of cluster analysis using the weighted averages of 6 main quality characteristics indicated that the 28 varieties could be divided into three types, namely, dense and fine type, medium type, and sparse coarse type." |
