A study on evaluation of new species performace of some cool climate turfgrasses in our country under the Mediterranean climate

This research carried out on the test fields of Ege University Bayındır Meslek Yüksekokulu between 2015-2016. In this research, features of turfgrasses species, such as Lolium perenne (İntegra, Bizet-1, New orleons, Caddieshack) Festuca rubra rubra (Eugene, Merlot, Maxima), Festuca rubra commutata (Survivor, Maritza), Festuca rubra trichophylla (Samanta), Festuca arundinacea (Tomcat-1, Galetea, Jaguar), Poa pratensis (Avalanche, Evora), was studied under the conditions of Mediterranean climate. For this purpose, characteristic of Germination Rates (Day), Texture (1-9), Color (1-9), Cover Rate (1%), Weed Investigation (1-9), Green Matter Yield (Kg/Da), Dry Matter Content (%), Dry Matter Yield (Kg/Da), Cold Resistance (1-9) and General Outlook (1-9) was dealt with. According to the data obtained, kinds which belong to Lolium perenne, Festuca arundinacea and Poa Pratensis have good performances in terms of many charachters under the Mediterranean climate conditions against kinds of Festuca rubra rubra, Festuca rubra commutata and Festuca rubra trichopylla
