Abstract
Four mixtures of lawn grasses purchased on market were sown in 1994 on sandy soil under Polesie Lubelskie weather conditions. Two sowing rates were applied: 250 and 400 kg/ha. The experimental design randomized blocks with four replications on plots of 2 m2. Evaluations were performed according to the system elaborated in IHAR Radzików and COBORU in Słupia Wielka. Results of three year studies showed that the most durable and dense lawn sward was formed on plots sown with Lawn Seed mixture that contained the largest amounts of red fescue and sheep fescue. Ryegrass vanished from the sward at the second year after sowing. Besides that, no clear influence of higher sowing rate on lawn quality was observed.
