22 A M E N I T Y G R A S S E S A N D W H I T E C L O V E R Poa annua var. reptans - Creeping bluegrass - Golf Rispe Poa reptans is a perennial subspecie of Poa annua wich also build some stolons. It is very aggressive and Creeping bluegrass can even crowd out Poa annua. Germination is very fast and the growth is upright which leads to a "True Putt" on golf greens. POA ANNUA VAR. REPTANS Tolerance to Tolerance to Tolerance to Name Listed in close mowing shade wet soils True Putt highest tolerance to close mowing, tolerance to shade and wet soils Poa pratensis L. - Smooth-stalked meadowgrass - Wiesenrispe - Pâturin des prés - Poa pratense Poa pratensis is frequently found in the wild, on both mineral and humus-rich soils in both northern and southern hemispheres. Fine-leaved varieties with excellent turf qualities have been selected. Poa pratensis is a persistent specie with strong rhizomes and erect leafy shoots. Growth starts early in the spring and re-growth consists mainly of leafy material that can be mown very easily and leaves a clean cut. Poa pratensis tolerates hard wear and because of its rhizomes, it can regenerate itself even if the sward is badly damaged. Newer varieties tend to have a higher density than the old. The heat tolerance of Poa pratensis is good which makes it a perfect partner in mixtures with tall fescue. POA PRATENSIS L.

This is due to the very high recuperative capacity and shoot density of the specie, which makes it very adaptable to the close mowing regimes used on these areas. Creeping bentgrass can also be used in mixtures for very dense lawn mixtures for private gardens due to its soft leaves and dense growth. AGROSTIS STOLONIFERA L.

Agrostis tenuis - Browntop - Rotes Straussgras - Agrostide ténue - Agróstide común Browntop bent is used extensively on golf greens in mixtures with red fescue for low input purposes. It tolerates close mowing very well. The shoot density is high and it is very adaptable to changable growing conditions. AGROSTIS CAPILLARIS L. AGROSTIS TENUIS Fineness Short Name Listed in Density of leaves growth Golfin (=Golf) CZ, D, EST, HR, RO, RU, SI Lance UK Vivaldi DK, EST, N, UK, SK, UA highest density, finest leaves and shortest growth Trifolium repens L. - White clover - Weissklee - Trèfle blanc - Trébol blanco The breeding of white clover for turf is a speciality from DLF-TRIFOLIUM. In general white clover in mixtures with fine grasses keeps the lawn much greener and healthy without the application of Nitrogen. Normal forage white clover varieties are not suited and will not survive under regular mowing but the development of the new very small leaved varieties –Microclover- is a break through in creating a environmentally friendly lawn also suitable for close mowing.
