Abstract

Thirty cultivars and selections of Festuca spp. were assessed regarding their turf characters under medium intensive turf maintenance during 1993–1998. The results of the assessment were the base for formula calculation of some characters synthesis using statistic methods. Tested cultivars were divided into three homogenous groups in respect to their general aesthetic aspect using cluster analysis (k-means method). Based on this division the relationships between general aesthetic aspect and other tested traits (shoot density, slow vertical re-growth, leaf fineness, and colour) were determined. The weight of particular characters in turf cultivar value was estimated by multiple linear regressions, and quality turf index QM has been proposed. Index QM was used for evaluation of turf value of cultivars and selections, and results were compared with other formula indexes proposed by other authors. Significant differences between cultivars value in the indexes were found. The relationships between the indexes mainly depended on the group of cultivars tested. Low relations among the indexes were found with the cultivars of low turf value, and higher with the cultivars of high turf value. The proposed index QM was closely related to a general aesthetic aspect of cultivars, irrespective of the group of cultivars. Our results suggest that index QM may be useful in turf cultivars value evaluation in breeding programmes. However, it requires an additional examination using other turfgrass species and other type of turf maintenanc.
