Abstract
Turf experiment on 33 varieties, 6 breeding lines and 1 ecotype from 10 species was carried out from 2002 to 2005. Micro plots (1 m2) in 3 replications were managed without fertilization (from the 1st full year of exploitation). Other treatments were also reduced. In the majority of tested objects, increasing deterioration of turf was observed as an effect of decreasing sward density and weeds. However, a few varieties showed tendency to maintain sward density on the acceptable level (above 5 in 1–9 scale). Sheep fescue varieties Sima, Mimi, Witra, Espro, tufted hairgrass Brok and a junegrass ecotype had high sward density from 2003 to 2005 together with the lowest sward density reduction and comparably high general aspect after 3 and 4 years of experiment.
