- Abstract
The aim of study is evaluation of grass emergence in the mixtures and analysis the influence of species composition and sowing rate on plant population. The experiment was established on spring 2007, on the golf course Toya Golf & Country Club in Wisznia Mała near Wrocław. 12 mixtures of turfgrasses were evaluated (5 mixtures with Festuca rubra L. as the dominant grass, available in the commercial offer and 6 mixtures with dominant grasses Kentucky bluegrass Poa pratensis L. and perennial ryegrass Lolium perenne L., composed at the Institute of Grassland and Green Areas Management, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences). Two sowing rates were applied: N1 - 25 g·m-2, N2 - 35 g·m-2. Diverse number of emerging plants, depending on the type of grass mixture and sowing rates in 4th and 6th week of observation has been reported. Mostly single plants formed swards sown with mixtures with the dominance of Lolium perenne L. (M6) and (M11). The swards with a high participation of M6 and M11 Lolium perenne L. mixture in their species composition, were characterized by the highest plant population. The lowest number of plants per unit area achieved fescue swards.
