| Abstract/Contents: | A study of the lawns of the 1977 Federal Horticultural Show, Stuttgnard, Germany. These lawns were seeded with different mixtures, utilized, and maintained in different ways. Contains photos of the study areas and tables giving seed mixture composition and percent of ground cover. The following generally valid rules were developed from study results. 1) AREAS WITHOUT WEAR, ALL SLOPES: Festuca rubra can develop thick, long-lasting grass cover and help prevent erosion. Two of the three different subspecies should be used. Agrostis tenuis and Poa pratensis can be sown without a supporting species. Festuca ovina only has a chance to develop turf on poor, sandy soil without a growing partner possessing strong displacement characteristics. 2) SLIGHTLY WORN AREAS: Festuca rubra can occupy a certain proportion of turf area with limited wear, but will not be population exploding. A multi-faceted mixture is possible and necessary to meet the changing requirements. Festuca rubra (all three subspecies), Ageostis tenuis, Poa pratensis, Phleum pratense, and possibly Agrostis stolenifera appear suitable. Varieties of the last named species with strong displacement characteristics can, under suitable local conditions and favorable maintenance (frequent close cutting), have a strong displacement effect. 3) HEAVILY WORN AREAS: Lolleum perrenne was not sown over wide areas, at least in areas of heavy foot traffic; however, it existed in limited proportions. At the time of the survey Lolleum perrenne was found to be long lasting and well established, presumably due to frequent mowing and a good supply of nutrients. the last generally applies to Poa pratensis also, especially the broad leaved forms. Poa agustifolia places less demand on water and nutrients. Equally wear resistant as Lolleum perenne and with a better endurance during dry periods, Poa pratensis is indispensible in heavy traffic areas. Additionally, Phleum and Agrostis can be considered as turf enriching species. Recovery is sought with strong varieties of Agrostis stolonifera. 4) TURF AREAS WITH BROADLEAF PLANTS: In utility turf without heavy wear and in landscape turf long-lasting broadleaf plants have their rightful place. On the basis of most incomplete budding capabilities and unsatisfactory endurance only the following broadleaf plants should be considered for utility turf: Trifolium repens, Medicago lupulina, Plantago lanceolata, and Achillea millefolium. For once or twice cut landscape turf a few additional broadleaf plants are appropriate. |
