The Comparison Of Different Varieties Of Grass For Suitability In Establishing Soft Lawn Turf Under Humid Rainfed Condition In Umudike
ABSTRACT
This comparison of different
varieties of grass for suitability in establishing soft lawn turf was conducted
at the Eastern Research Farm of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,
Umudike in South Eastern Nigeria. The experiment was laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments replicated six times. The
treatments used were Anoxopus compressus, Chrysopogon acciculatus, Paspalum notatum
and Echinochloa crus galic (L) respectively and the following parameters were
taken; plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, number of roots and
length of the longest root. The results obtained showed that the four
treatments used were significantly different from one another. In week 1,
number of leaves ranged from 183.55 to 1018.00 and was significantly correlated
with the number of roots (r=0.653**). In week 8, plant height ranged from
156.71 to 535.96 and did not show any significant correlation with the longest
root (-0.196).
