Abstract
Deschampsia caespitosa cv. Brok was investigated in mixtures with Poa pratensis cultivars over three years under shade conditions. Monoculture of Brok and two standard mixtures commonly used one for sport purposes and the other one for park purposes, were used as a control for the comparison. The experiment was located in natural shade, near a building, and the following medium high turf maintenance regime factors were in operation: 157 kg N/ha, 22 mowing per year and irrigation during dry periods. The light reaching the plants was reduced by about 80%. The following characters were evaluated: general aesthetic aspect, shoot density, winterhardiness, wintergreenness, tolerance to yellow rust and to snow mould. It was found that the Brok mixtures’ characters were particularly good only in the first year of maintenance. Mean data (from 3 years of maintenance) of the general aesthetic aspect and shoot density for the mixtures with Brok were at the standard mixtures level or even below. The component cultivars of P. pratensis influenced significantly the value of turf characters. The tufted hairgrass Brok in monoculture showed low persistency for shoot density and low value of aesthetic aspect in autumn and winter (wintergreenness)
