Abstract

The paper includes the results of suitability assessment of 18 cultivars for sowing in paths of grass surface. In the experiment conducted in years 2010–2016, the tussock varieties belonging to 4 species of lawn grasses were used: red fescue (Festuca rubra), sheep's fescue (F. ovina), tall fescue (F. arundinacea) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). The aim of the study was to examine the quality of the lawn varieties exploited in the extensive conditions of use. The varieties of red fescue Dorosa and Mirena, and the variety of perennial ryegrass Boxer were the best ones in terms of the state of the turf after the winter. The varieties of narrow-leaf fescue were characterized by the best sodding. The varieties of narrow-leaf fescue were characterized by the best compactness of paths in the habitats collection with the modified subsoil (hardened layer), whereas in the collection of leguminous plants (subsoil unchanged) it was the quality of the varieties of tall fescue. All varieties of tall fescue, sheep's fescue variety Noni, and the varieties of red fescue Dorosa and Rapsodia were characterized by the most favorable general aspect of autumn. The use of mixtures composed of lawn tussock varieties would allow to reduce the workload on the nurturing of borders of the lawn finished as so-called "sharp edge" and to reduce the overgrowth of lawn inside the flower bed between the materials used to make the shoreline.
