Abstract
Thirty cultivars and selections of Festuca spp., originated from Poland and from UE were tested under medium intensive turf maintenance during 1993–1998 in Radzików (centre Poland). The objective of study was to assess the variability among species and cultivars of Festuca for the turf characters. Species and subspecies of Festuca such as: F. rubra L.ssp. rubra Hack. (4 cv.), F. rubra L.ssp. trichophylla Gaud. (3 cv.), F. rubra L. ssp. commutata Gaud (8 cv.), F. heterophylla Lam. (1 cv.), F. ovina spp. (7 cv.) i F. arundinacea Schreb. (7cv.) were compared. The following turf characters were evaluated: aesthetic aspect, density of turf, slow re-growth, leaf fineness, over-wintering, winter-greenness and tolerance to disease: snow mould (Microdochium nivale), pink patch (Limonomyces roseipellis), leaf spot (Drechslera spp.) and blister smut (Entyloma dactylidis). Significant differences among species and cultivars were found for the tested characters. The value of cultivar characters was changed in seasons and years which made the evaluation of their quality difficult. Cluster analysis (k-means method) divided cultivars into three homogenous groups in respect to their aesthetic aspect. Based on this division, the other characters of cultivars were described. Cultivars of F. rubra ssp. commutata, F. rubra ssp. trichophylla and F. ovina ssp. duriuscula showed the best value in many characters. F. rubra ssp. rubra and F. arundinacea were located in a group with a medium level of quality. F. ovina spp. and forage type cultivars of F. arundinacea showed the worst turf value. It was confirmed that grass diseases reduce the quality of cultivars characters and were the one of the factors influencing their variability. Snow mould was the main disease of turf. Cultivars of F. arundinacea and F. rubra ssp. rubra were the most susceptible to this disease. Some cultivars of F. rubra ssp. commutata, F. ovina ssp. duriuscula and F. rubra ssp. trichophylla demonstrated a high level of tolerance to snow mould.
