Abstract:

Based on the climatic conditions in transition zone, the basic requirement of turfgrass species selection for golf course and the biological characteristics of grass, ten turfgrass species/cultivars were selected to establish turf according to the United State Golf Association (USGA) standards in Changsha, a place with typical transition zone climate conditions. The turf quality of the ten turfgrasses were comprehensively evaluated based on three primary indexes and ten secondary indexes using the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation method. The comprehensive evaluation of turf quality demonstrated that the seashore paspalum ‘Salam’, bermudagrass ‘Tifgreen’, ‘Tifeagle’ and ‘Tifsport’ are rated in the class V and showed excellent performance, which are suitable for putting green.The seashore paspalum ‘Sea spray’ and ‘09-1’ are rated in the class VI and showed good performance, which were suitable for fairways. Whereas the cultivars of Zoysia japonica and Agrostis stolonifera were rated lower and showed moderate performance, which were not suitable for use in golf course in the transitional zone, such as Changsha, Hunan.

摘要：

基于中国南方过渡带气候区的特点,依据高尔夫球场对草坪草种选择的基本要求和各草坪草种(品种)的生物学特性,选择过渡带气候区长沙为试验点,以10个常用的草坪草品种(系)为研究对象,按照美国USGA标准建立试验坪床进行草坪建植,采用3个一级质量指标和10个二级指标,利用模糊综合评价法对10个草坪草品种建植的草坪进行草坪质量的综合评价。研究结果表明:在过渡带长沙地区,海滨雀稗‘Salam’、‘天堂草328’、‘老鹰草’和‘运动百慕大’等草坪草品种的草坪综合质量等级为V级,表现优秀,适合用于对草坪质量要求高的果岭区域;海滨雀稗‘海浪’和‘09-1’的草坪综合质量为IV级,表现良好,适用于对草坪质量要求较高的球道;综合评价等级相对较低的为结缕草和匍匐剪股颖,其不适合在湖南地区的高尔夫球场使用。
