Abstract
This study was conducted in order to determine the performances of some world wide used C4 warm-season turfgrasses (Buchloe dactyloides, Cynodon dactylon,C. dactylon x C. transvaalensis, Stenotaphrum secundatum, S. variegatum,Paspalum notatum, P. vaginatum, Pennisetum clandestinum, Zoysia japonica) under mediterranean ecological conditions of Izmir/Turkey in 2006 - 2007. The experimental design was a randomised complete blocks with four replications. Results indicated that, all tested warm-season turfgrasses except Z. japonicacultivars and Stenotaphrum variegatum, performed very well on the experimental area in terms of leaf blade width, ground cover, weed competition, total clipping yield, spring green-up, fall colour retention and visiual turf quality. Key words: C4 warm-season turfgrasses, adaptation, turf quality.
