Abstract
Twenty cultivars of Poa pratensis, including 5 strains originated from Poland, EU, and Canada were tested under medium intensive turf maintenance during 1999–2001 in Radzików (central Poland). Turf characters such as: overwintering, general aesthetic aspect, density of sward, slow regrowth, fineness of leaf, wintergreeness, colour, resistant to melting out (Drechslera poae), and yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis) were evaluated. Mean aesthetic aspect, and turf quality index were calculated. Both, evaluated and calculated characters were divided in two groups: main (4 characters) and particular (13 characters). The variability of cultivar characters in seasons and years, and relationship between characters were analysed. Significant differences among cultivars for tested characters were found. Polish cultivars were located in good group according to the main characters such as: overwintering, mean aesthetic aspect, turf quality, and wintergreeness. They also showed a good level of resistance to melting out but were susceptible to yellow rust. Among tested cultivars Barcelona, and Bartitia performed the best in many characters. Breeding strains didn’t exhibit new turf values. The great variability was found in cultivar characters in seasons and years of turf maintenance. Characters such as overwintering, wintergreeness, and disease resistance showed the highest variability among cultivars with range from 0 to 47%. The significant relationship between the general aesthetic aspect and many particular characters was found. These results confirmed that aesthetic aspect is the most important character in turf cultivars evaluation.
