Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine floristic changes in composition of species and cultivars mixtures during the first and the second year of turf maintenance. 12 cultivars of Lolium perenne L., Festuca rubra L. ssp. commutata Gaud, Festuca rubra L. ssp. rubra Huck. and Poa pratensis L. were tested in the mixtures. The following percentage ratio of species: L. perenne — 40%, F. rubra spp — 40% and P. pratensis — 20% were used for mixture. The tested cultivar was the only representative of its species, while each of the remaining species was represented by several cultivars. The samples of plants coming from the turf mixtures were collected in the fall of the sowing year, as well as in all the vegetation seasons in the next year of maintenance The botanical-weight analysis of samples was done and the changes in their floristic composition were determined. The preliminary study proved that the changes in floristic composition of turf significantly depended on a species and occasionally also on cultivar components used in the mixtures. During the period of two years of turf maintenance Lolium perenne L. was the dominant species in the mixtures and its percentage ranged above the sowing norm, Festuca rubra L. occurred in turf on the sowing norm level, while Poa pratensis L. was classified below the sowing norm. In the second year of turf maintenance significant changes in the turf components were recorded. The share of L. perenne was decreased while those for F. rubra and P. pratensis were increased. There were also differences in cultivars ratio in turf mixtures observed in particular seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn). The differences were significant for cultivars of Festuca rubra, and not significant for cultivars of Lolium perrenne and Poa pratensis.
