Abstract
From 2002 to 2008, a study was undertaken to test six cultivars from six turf grass species: prostrate meadow-grass cv. Supranova, perennial ryegrass cv. Stadion, chewings fescue cv. Nimba, smooth-stalked meadow-grass cv. Conni, tall fescue cv. Asterix and tufted hair grass cv. Brok. The experiment was located in a natural tree shade where turf quality parameters were evaluated. Results indicated the ability of prostrate meadow-grass to grow and perform well under a natural park shade. Supranova, compared to other cultivars tested, exhibited good quality in winter periods and slow re-growth. Unfavorable traits of this variety are susceptibility to drought and bright green color of the leaves.
