Abstract
The effect of smooth stalked meadow grass (Poa pratensis L.) variety on the quality of turf mixtures sown in shade was evaluated in years 2007–2010. Six P. pratensis objects were used. They were divided into two groups on the basis of previously recognized different turf quality in shade: objects of above-mean quality (group I) and of below-mean quality (group II). Red fescue Rapsodia and perennial ryegrass Aut were used as the remaining components in mixtures. No significant effect of the quality of P. pratensis cultivars on the quality of mixture were found. Turf quality of P. pratensis cultivars was significant only at the initial stage of sward vegetation. Along with changes in turf quality over time, differences between tested objects (cultivars & mixtures) were reduced by the effects of light deficit, disease incidence etc.
