Abstract
Research conducted in the years 1999–2001 had an objective to compare the following three methods of vegetative reproduction of ornamental species of Sesleria: 1) traditional division — division of a maternal plant into 3 to 5 parts, without depriving the plant of its ornamental value, planted directly into the soil; 2) intensive division I — division of a maternal plant into parts of 1 to 3-shoots, planted directly into the soil; 3) intensive division II — division of a maternal plant into parts of 1 to 3-shoots, grown for the first two weeks in the peat substrate in a glasshouse and then transferred into the soil. The conducted research has proven that grasses used in the experiments with the employment of intensive division do not match the plants from traditional division in terms of size. However, a large number of offspring plants obtained from a single maternal plant may contribute to the popularization and more ready availability of decorative grasses, as well as to the extension of their implementation.
