Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yarı kurak iklim koşullarında yeşil alan oluşturmak amacıyla kullanılabilecek çim tür ve çeşitlerini belirlemektir. Çalışma, 2015-2017 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nde yer alan Siirt ili ekolojik koşullarında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, çim bitkisi materyali olarak; Lolium perenne L. (Troya, Caddieshack ve Esquire), Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (Jaguar, Arid-III, Starlet ve Tomcat-1), Festuca rubra L. subsp. rubra (Redskin, Corail ve Maxima-1), Festuca rubra L. subsp. commutata (J-5), Poa pratensis L. (Evora, Bluechip, Miracle ve Geronimo) ve Agrostis tenuis Sibth. (Denso) türlerine ait çeşitler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada tarla denemesi, tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre çakılı ve 3 tekrarlamalı olarak kurulmuştur. Denemede, her bir parsel ebadı 2 m x 4 m= 8 m2’dir. Çalışmada çeşitlerin çıkış hızı, kaplama hızı, kışa dayanıklılık, kaplama derecesi, yaprak dokusu, yaprak rengi, yenilenme gücü, kardeş sayısı, görsel çim kalitesi, seyrekleşme derecesi ve yabancı ot oranı gibi temel çim alan özellikleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada incelenen parametreler açısından çim çeşitleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre, L. perenne çeşitlerinin en hızlı çıkış gösterdiği ve kaplama hızı değerinin yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. İki yıllık ortalama ve mevsimsel değişkenliğe göre; kışa dayanıklılık, kaplama derecesi, yaprak dokusu, yaprak rengi, yenilenme gücü, kardeş sayısı, görsel çim kalitesi, yabancı ot oranı ve seyrekleşme derecesi gibi çim alan özellikleri yönünden F. arundinacea çeşitlerinin en iyi sonucu verdiği belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre, F. arundinacea çeşitleri (Arid-III, Starlet ve Tomcat-1), birçok çim özelliği açısından en yüksek puanları alması nedeniyle yarı kurak iklim koşullarında en başarılı çim seçeneği olmuştur.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the species and cultivars of turfgrass that could be utilized to create green space in semi-arid climate conditions. The study was conducted under the ecological conditions of Siirt province, located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Türkiye, between 2015 and 2017. Cultivars of Lolium perenne L. (Troya, Caddieshack, and Esquire), Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (Jaguar, Arid-III, Starlet, and Tomcat-1), Festuca rubra L. subsp. rubra (Redskin, Corail, and Maxima-1), Festuca rubra L. subsp. commutata (J-5), Poa pratensis L. (Evora, Bluechip, Miracle, and Geronimo), and Agrostis tenuis Sibth. (Denso) species were used as turfgrass plant material in the study. The research established the field experiment using a randomized block design with long-term and three replications. In the experiment, the size of each plot was 2 m x 4 m= 8 m2. The study examined the basic turf field characteristics of the cultivars, such as emergence speed, ground cover speed, cold resistance, ground cover rate, leaf texture, leaf color, regeneration power, tiller number, visual turfgrass quality, infrequency degree, and weed ratio. In the study were detected statistically significant differences among the turfgrass varieties in terms of the parameters examined. According to the research results, L. perenne cultivars obtained the fastest emergence speed and achieved high ground cover speed values. Based on two-year average and seasonal variability, it was revealed that F. arundinacea cultivars yielded the best results regarding turf field characteristics, such as cold resistance, ground cover rate, leaf texture, leaf color, regeneration power, tiller number, visual turfgrass quality, weed ratio, and infrequency degree. According to these results, F. arundinacea cultivars (Arid-III, Starlet, and Tomcat-1) were the most successful turfgrass option under semi-arid climate conditions due to having the highest scores in terms of many turfgrass characteristics.
