Adaptation and Some Quality Parameters of Cool Season Turfgrass Species in Samsun Conditions
The aim of this study is to determine adaptation and quality parameters of some cool season turfgrass cultivars and species, In the scope of this study, leaf form, variation of leaf colour according to the seasons, tiller number, thinning ratio, weed ratio and general appearance of the species were...
