Abstract
From May to October 2011, a field experiment was conducted in the north eastern Slovenia (Rakičan, 46°65’21’’ N, 16°19’13’’ E, 188 m s.l.), where we studied the properties of three grasses and four grass mixtures appropriate to create a medium- intensive ornamental lawn after the second year of growth. The experiment was designed in September 2009 as randomized blocks with four repetitions. The size of the basic plot was 10 square metres. For sowing 250 kg of seeds per hectare were used. The treatments were fertilized with 200 kg N ha -1 (in seven fertilizations), 60 kg P2O5 ha -1 and 120 kg K2O ha -1.In the experiment, we assessed and evaluated turf colour, growth rate, bare spots, turf density, weeds, drought resistance, and turf resistance to disease, the impact of weather conditions and dry matter yield of each mixture. The results obtained in the experiment indicated that the grass mixture No. 3, composed of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) – cv. ‘Arid 3 (50%) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) – cv. ‘Panderosa’ (25%) and cv. Mondial’ (25%), significantly differed from the remaining grasses and grass mixtures according to the observed parameters.
