| Abstract/Contents: | "This work assessed differences between three sward mixtures with different proportions of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) after four years of intensive or extensive management. The proportion of the two species in the three seed mixtures were 90:10, 75:25, and 60:40% of perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively. All plots were cut at a sward height of 30 mm. Intensively managed plots were cut 20 times year-1 and fertilized with 300 g N m-2 and extensively managed plots were cut 8 times year-1 and fertilized with 180 g N m-2. No significant differences were found between the mixtures in any parameters. The mean proportion in DM weight was 28 and 71% of ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively. There were 58% more tillers of ryegrass in intensively managed turf than in extensively managed turf (P=0.03) but no difference in number of Kentucky bluegrass tillers. There were no significant differences in DM weight between the two management regimes neither in perennial ryegrass or Kentucky bluegrass. Under conditions of our experiment, extensive management yielded sufficiently, thereby allowing reducing costs and impact. The final decision about the choice of turfgrass mixtures and management has to take in account all factors." |
