| Abstract/Contents: | "Research was conducted at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany to study several characteristics of Poa supina and to assess its suitability as a turf species to that of other species. The characteristics included water usage (ET rates) under no traffic and under compaction, drought tolerance, recuperative ability after drought, rooting pattern and shade tolerance. Evapotranspiration rates differed depending on whether compaction occurred or not. ET rates or P. supina were significantly lower than Agrostis stolonifera and significantly higher than Festuca rubra trichophylla under 'no compaction' conditions. Under 'compaction' conditions there was no significant difference in ET rates between the three species. P. supina tolerated prolonged drought periods less well than A. stolonifera and F. rubra, as indicated by significantly higer crop water stress indices. The recuperative ability of P. supina after periods of drought was poor, compared with Agrostis stolonifera and F. rubra. P. supina developed a shallow rooting system, with very few roots at depths of greater than 20 cm. Within a group of 7 turfgrass species (Agrostis stolonifera, Festuca rubra commutata, Festuca rubra rubra, Festuca rubra trichophylla, Lolium perenne, Poa supina, Poa pratensis), Poa supina showed the best shade tolerance. Ground coverage and quality ranking were higher than for the other species under reduced light intensities (55% and 75% light reduction). The results demonstrate that Poa supina has significant potential as a turfgrass species for shady, regularly irrigated locations." |
